Fresh Love Story from Q's 15 Minutes of Fame

Rating: Null/10 (23 January 2004)

Tarrentino's films all give the impression of being segments or episodes in an all encompassing interelated saga. That's probably more of a shot than a compliment however. The Q to me has always meant Quirk, not much else. True Romance has a couple of truly fabulous scenes, but overall, the movie only rates as good. Too much is variations on themes he explores in previous or subsequent stuff, and the repetiveness to me is boring. Slater in lieu of his usual Jack Nicholson impression, instead here, gives us Harvey Keitel (I think). The accent he employs wanders in and out of his performance, and invokes cringes at points. The rest of the cast is terrific, and the film warrants a viewing just to see all of these huge performers working together in one project. Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, Tony Soprano, Gary Oldman, Samel Jackson, Dennis Hopper...very cool.
