Trash

Rating: 4/10 (12 May 2003)

`True Romance' has got to be the most overrated movie. It has a sensational cast and, what could have been, decent story but it was completely misdirected. There was no nuance in the direction. It was all violence and excess. Christian Slater was a waste and Patricia Arquette was there for her body. There were some bright spots because of the cast. The scene with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken was good and could have been great except for the subject matter which I thought was in very poor taste, even for this movie. The movie was made for an audience who would think a couple of hundred thousand dollars would provide a lifetime of happiness and the behavior of the psychopaths in this movie was somehow justified. I did not enjoy this piece of trash.
