  This is a wild ride. At times you can DEFINITELY tell that Quentin Tarantino wrote this. No doubt needs more Brad Pitt and Samuel L. Jackson

  Christian Slater as a fearless tough guy is as believable as Gary Oldman playing a racially confused Rastafarian pimp.

  fumbles at the finish line but tony scott’s romanticism does wonders on tarantino’s sloppy writing here. also some genuine all-timer squib work in the shootouts.

  True Romance remains a relic to me - of the early-90s, of the emerging voice of Tarantino and the continued evolution of Tony Scott's work. It's basically Tarantino's Dark, Twisted, Adolescent Fantasy, but Tony Scott brings his glistening eye to the romance and the operatic action.

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I don't know why this over the top film works but it does! A geeky nerds comic book fantasy comes alive on the big screen!

  Perhaps it's the stylized ultra violence! One memorable scene between Gary Oldman and Christian Slater comes to mind involving castration by gun! And that was just the tip of the iceberg!

  Perhaps it was the duel between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper where the weapon of choice is Tarantino-esque versification!

  Perhaps it was the Mother of All Smackdowns scenes featuring Gandolfini doing what Gandolfini does best and he's doing it to Patricia Arquette! Truly terrifying and brutal stuff that made me wince more than once!

  Perhaps it was the amusing often times funny chatter going…

  True Romance is one wild, crazy and hilariously savage ride. Yet, I finished the film feeling unfulfilled. Although, that just might be the point.

  The Awesome: The writing and characters are absolutely impeccable. There is a scene in this film involving Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper, and it's pure gold. You can just tell these actors are savoring every line of dialogue, because they realize that this screenplay is simply brilliant. The direction by Tony Scott (RIP) is also wonderful, adding a crazed and stylized look to a film that works really well.

  The Terrible: It feels very light, with very little substance. Awesome characters? Check. Incredible dialogue? Check. Stunning cinematography? Check, check, check. Yet, at the end of the day, it's like a great toasted sandwich with no meat. But man, that bread tastes great.

  Overall, True Romance has enough style and great characters to carry it to the finish line. It's a healthy recommendation.
