'true genius'

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2008)

This is one of the greatest movies ever. As usual tarintino turns out a fantastic script and the direction from Tony Scott is sheer brilliance, but the cast, wow, it must be one of the greatest casts ever, even cameo roles are filled by stars. Christian Slater plays Clarence, a low paid comic book store worker living life to the fullest, when he meets call girl Alabama (Patricia Arquette). ironically they fall in love and get married. Clarence goes to sort out her pimp (gary Oldman) and ends up killing him. He finds a suitcase full of cocaine. they flee to L.A to unload it whilst the owners of the coke follow them in an outstanding turn of events. With some of the most memorable scenes in film this is a must see, it would be worth seeing just for the actors in it. Dennis Hopper plays Clarences father and Christopher Walken as the drug dealer in pursuit. With many great performances from James Gandolfini, Micheal Rappaport, Saul Rubinek, Brad Pitt, Tom Sizemore, Chris Penn, Bronson Pinchot, Samuel. L Jackson and Val Kilmer as Elvis. This film promises not to disappoint. Tony Scott has always been known for his way of making a certain topic interesting (Top Gun, Days of thunder, crimson tide) and in this case Love. I was moved by this film, by far one of the most heartwarming films ever made, unusual for a Tarintino script but it is very touching. A phenomenal film and definitely one to buy. 10/10
