Cons: The strange plot.

Pros: Tarantino, story, Slater

I’ve never been a fan of romances, but with True Romance you have a romantic movie for the whole family—action for dad, romance for mom, and plenty of “f” words flung around for the kids. True Romance revolves around Clarence and Alabama ...

Pros: Jam-packed with stars, Scott's directing & Tarantino's script, extras on special edition DVD
Cons: The cursing & graphic violence will offend some

There's no doubting it: Tony Scott's 1993 film True Romance is the director at his finest hour. Much like the film's main protagonists, it's as if fate brought film maestros Quentin Tarantino & Tony Scott together for this ...

Pros: The Cast; Script; Action scenes

Pros: So many good actors, Walken, Hopper, Gandolfini, Slater, Pitt, Arquette ....
Cons: The shower scene where Patricia Arquette gets the crap beat out of her.

This is by far my all-time favorite movie. I remember when this was out at the theater's, it must have been the underrated sleeper hit of the century because no one wanted to see it or talked about it. I psyched myself into going to see it on an...

Pros: Many, many good scenes
Cons: One horrifically bad scene

In 1993, the world got to see the first completed script penned by Quentin Tarantino, in the form of the Tony (brother of Ridley) Scott film True Romance. As one would expect, this is not your typical romance, true or otherwise.

...

Pros: The Tarantino dialogue, a cast loaded with great actors, two super-classic scenes
Cons: Too many bullets are fired, not enough Walken and Hopper

"True Romance" is an odd little beast. It manages to weave a singular vision from two, seemingly oppositional threads. On one hand you've got the hyper-verbal, seventies-cinema obsessed script written by Quentin Tarantino. On the other hand, you have...

Pros: Smart, energetic, and most importantly, entertaining
Cons: There are some subtexts in the narrative, but this stuff isn't "deep"

It was my lunch break. I wasn't feeling very hungry, so instead of going to the in-store pizza place and cafe, I strolled out of the front end where all the cash registers are located and I headed off for the video department, which was located near the...

Pros: Gratuitous violence, Slater's best movie, many very recognizable names and faces
Cons: Gratuitous violence

This is a movie you can watch 4, 5, 6 times!! Some scenes you wanna' watch over and over again!!

The most enjoyable scene in the movie comes in the form of some light banter between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper. This is a scene the...

Pros: great actors
Cons: too violent, screenplay not so good

I am really shocked that so many people recommend this movie. In fact 94% (!!!) from them recommend it. I'm really wondering why? For its violence? For a Quentin Tarantino screenplay? I don't know why.
My opinion is in completely contradiction with...
