Summary: Drexl Spivey, Blue Lou, Rommel & the lot
Review: Are there any bad scenes at all in this boyish, tongue-in-cheek damnation movie? True Romance is so far the most complete story told by Q.T., with gusto and bravado performances from the A level of today's male movie actors. Hopper, Oldman, Walken, Jackson, small bits but unforgettable. Even Slater looks good, and the lovely Ms. Arquette truly is a peach. Best bits: For the body, the dinner-fight and snappy dialogue between Slater and Oldman in Drexl's den. For the mind, though, we vote for Hopper's final monologue in front of a surprisingly well acting Christopher Walken as Vincenzo Coccotti, "the Antichrist personified". Throughout the whole movie (this is not a film), the message is pure rockin' 'n' rollin' romance, and of course the soundtrack keeps up with the pace. Interestingly enough, both theme of story and main theme pays direct hommage to Terence Malick's Badlands from the seventies. Who woudn't be like Clarence? Fighting the evil forces with heroic bravado and fleeing with the beautiful princess and a bag full of cash? And being guided by the ghost of Elvis, no more, no less? Dreams coming true. A real gem.

Summary: Tedious, overblown, and just plain stupid
Review: I can't imagine being drunk enough to find this movie interesting. It's offensively mindless and incoherent, and some of its scenes really define "gratuitous violence." Slater is nice to watch and Pitt is marginally funny; Walken always adds a touch of class and Hopper does a good turn; Kilmer is a voice-over out of focus in the background: but the sum of the parts is not enough to balance the ugliness and mean-spiritedness of the whole. Boy was this movie bad.

Summary: Among my top 20.
Review: Caution! I got a copy {DVD} the other day, not through Amazon, that was only 4:3 aspect and the sound track was off by at least a half of a second in the infamous Hopper/Walken scene.

Summary: Wow!
Review: This movie has the greatest fight scene I have ever seen! No, not the shoot out in the office, but between the girlfriend and the mafia hit man. If you watch it you'll be hard pressed to remember another fight that comes close. While watching it I was pulling my hair out, and after the movie I was laughing at the hilarity. Val Kilmer does a great job at Elvis also. This movie is non-stop action, suprise, and humor.

Review: Hopper and Walken......What can I say? The last great act of defiance. Most probably one of the best scenes in all of film.

Summary: All-round excellent movie
Review: Like "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction", this movie has several stomach-churning scenes and an awful lot of bad language mixed in with uproarious gangster comedy. Gary Oldman takes the prize as the most outrageous and unpleasant pimp ever depicted on screen. Especially memorable is the scene in which Dennis Hopper, playing a decent retired cop, explains to Christopher Walken, a Sicilian crime chief, his theory about the negroid origins of Sicilians. The movie has the familiar Tarantino ending in which everyone finishes up pointing a gun at each other, but it's handled rather more convincingly than in "Reservoir Dogs". The music's very catchy.

Summary: Best chick flick ever
Review: I freakin hate Tarentino as a director. Hated Res. Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Four Rooms, and Meet Joe Black, but I loved this movie. This is the best Christian Slater movie ever, and patricia arquette plays a fantastic co-star. This movie has a lot of big names who aren't just "big names in a cameo," but they actually play great roles and act pretty damn well. star studded cast, but arquette and slater shine through in this violent love story. highly recommended.

Summary: You're so cool...You're so cool...You're so cool
Review: That is a line in the movie by Arquette that can sum up this film. It is a roller coaster of a ride, but with calming undercurrents. Cool.Banter between Michael Rappaport and Brad Pitt is hilarious. "...cleaning products!" "Don't condescend me man. I'll fXXXin kill ya!" So many great scenes. You HAVE TO SEE THIS MOVIE!
Rating:
Summary: My Favorite movie of all time
Review: The cast in this movie says it all, never again will a movie possess a cast as brilliant as the one in this movie! It is one fast paced,unpredictible, at the edge of your seat movie! Christain Slater is spectacular, and Patricia Arquett does wonders as a call girl. Brad Pitt is hilarious as Floyd, Gary oldman played his part to the core as a pimp. I haven't even gotten started on how wonderful the other actors in the movie are. You'll just have to take my word and see this movie to find out for yourself. It is even worth more stars than your allowed to give!
