A ridiculous masterpiece.

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2000)

This over-the-top, violent, hilarious movie has to be at the top of anybody's list who loves the outrageous style of Tarantino (this is defiantly some of his best work). One of the best casts EVER assembled, it's a perfect mix of seasoned actors with relative newcomers (it's great to see a young James Gandolfini and Michael Rapaport). I think it's also safe to say that you will see some of Christian Slater's best work, along with one of Gary Oldman's greatest characters, Drexler the pimp.
The story does start slow, but that is all part of the films appeal as it develops the romance between Slater and Arquette, then slams us into a full blown Tarantino world full of surprises and mayhem. Look for some great cameos  some cool comic references  Elvis sightings  the John Woo homage  and lots of other insanity with excellent directing by Tony Scott . Not many films can hold together with this much intensity, but True Romance really delivers at all times.
