True Romance is a fantastic film which boasts an all-star cast including the likes of Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman amongst others and the film is filled with such colourful characters and indeed dialogue which provides a somewhat memorable movie. The plot is that Chrisitan Slater is an affable and well-meaning comic book clerk who goes out on a date with a hooker, played by Patricia Arquette, and they both fall ...
...chemistry between the two stars in the film, and they set out on a wild road trip after Slater kills Drexyl, Arquette's former pimp and coming into possession of some narcotics owned by the Mob. Oldman hams it superbly as the somewhat larger than life and colourful pimp and rarely has there been such a character in a film who is so obnoxious, so unbelievably vile with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever that we cannot help but cheer when he meets ...

Advantages: A-list ensemble cast, tarantino script, great action scenes
Disadvantages: Occassionally over-graphic

This film from 1993, directed by Tony Scott (previous works such as 'Top Gun' and Crimson Tide') and written by the universally known Quentin Tarantino. It is a tension filled and action packed movie with some really poignant and occasionally chilling sequences. The story centres around Clarence Worley (Christian Slater of 'Murder in the First' and 'Broken Arrow') a comic book store employee with a passion for Sonny Cheeba kung-fu movies and Elvis ...
...marathon in a cinema. Here he meets Alabama (Patricia Arquette of Stigmata.) She is a happy, young southern girl and they immediately hit it off. After the inevitable night-time events, Clarence awakes to find Alabama crying and she confesses she is a call girl hired by Clarence's boss as a birthday present.

Advantages: very quotable, a gallery of stars
Disadvantages: a slow paced 10 minutes at the start

...emotions and develops into a true gangsters moll by the end of the film, showing guts and determination sticking by her 'true love'. She has some great 'white trash' outfits to wear during the film which look great paired with Slater's wannebe Elvis look. Hopper, for a change, doesn't play a nutter! he's very calm and mild. Outstanding performance playing against type for once. Rappaport(dick ritchie), really bugs me but the script needed him as ...
...& Beverly hills cop 2. True romance didn't feel to me as if it was in the same style of either of these films, rather a balance of the 2. BHC2 is lighthearted & easy going & the fan is much darker and brooding. The mixture of these 2 without slipping over to comedy action film is what i feel you get with True Romance Conclusion ---------------- What is basically a road movie (often compared to Badlands) is pepped up by an amazing supporting cast ...

Advantages: Lots of great actors. Great story
Disadvantages: Oldman's part. QT version would have been better

...to remember. Yes, well in True Romance we have quite a large cast of well known actors and if you watch it with my family the Yer manning is beyond excessive. Anyway True Romance is a 1993 film written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott (the lesser of the Scott brothers). It tells the story of Clarence Worley (played by Christian Slater and I know he's an idiot just bear with me). Clarence is a pretty ordinary man though a bit of a loner. ...
...so apparent that the screenplay is by Tarantino from the dialogue. Clarence is talking to a girl in a bar about how he thinks Elvis is prettier than most women and if he had to do a man it would be Elvis. He then goes to the cinema to watch three Kung Fu movies as is his birthday tradition when he meets the beautiful Alabama (Patricia Arquette). They hit it off and he takes out and takes her home. However, when ever Clarence finds Alabama crying ... Read review

Advantages: Anybody can enjoy it.
Disadvantages: None

...going to be appearing in Die Hard i thought, brilliant. Bruce Willis is an amazing actor. The performance he gave was spectacular. He is one f the greatest actors in my opinion, when it comes to action films. The plot was very well thought out. I loved the film and the next 3 films that were produced after, were phenomenal. Also Alan Rickman playing a bad guy was a match made in heaven. His voice was perfect when he was giving Bruce an ultimatum. ... Read review
