One of the all time greats....

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2004)

The man, the myth, the legend: Quentin Tarantino....brings us..... The man, the myth, the legend: Christopher Walken....
in one of the greatest scenes in any movie...ever. This film has it all..great cast, great writing, great photography the whole nine yards. I am not a Christian Slater fan, i feel that he can not carry a movie on his own, but because of the superb cast...he doesn't need to. Even though many of the bigger name stars have roles that are really just cameos (Gary Oldman, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Tom Sizemore), the film still has a massive entertainment value. My only wish was that Tarantino himself could have helmed the film (But being that it was his first script, and at the time he hadn't directed a film, I understand.) Tony Scott can do action, perfect examples are the Last Boyscout (a genre classic), Enemy of the State, and Crimson Tide.
This film also has some newcomers that will later become freakin' HUGE! Brad Pitt (in one his finer performances in my opinion). And Samuel L Jackson (SHAFT himself). But one person that I just can't see how he got in this movie but turned a good performance was Bronson Pinchot (Balki from "Perfect Strangers"(TV)). I can imagine the studio meeting on that one...let's get a lovable TV star and make him a foul mouthed naive coke-head!? Inspired casting indeed.
If you watch Tarantino's film in order (1) True Romance, (2)Reservoir Dogs, (3) Pulp Fiction, (4)Jackie Brown, (5) Kill Bill vol. 1. You can see that True Romance isn't stylistically the same due to direction, but you can see the evolution of the poet that is Tarantino.
10/10!
