Go on take the money and run!

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2011)

Or shall I say contraband? Either way this high-voltage thriller will have you on the edge of your seat for 120 minutes. This script was anything but beginner's luck, Knoxville born Quentin Tarantino's first script geared for a major motion picture was in fact originally intended to be written and directed by Tarantino himself but due to the "business of Hollywood" he sold it and the direction went to the already veteran director Tony Scott. Nonetheless True Romance exemplifies the epitome of what 1990's action movies were all about, Adrenaline.
With an all star cast and a lineup of amazing scenes this movie is packed with excitement from the very start. The monologues are captivating, the violence is bombarding, and the story itself is surprisingly charming. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette deliver a dynamic lead portraying a love-struck fantasy for any couple wishing to keep their relationship on the outer realm of exciting, to say the least.
The supporting cast is superb, consisting of many big names and faces that have rocked the silver screen for decades. The talent and delivery from this supporting crew can only be believed when experienced. From mobsters and police, hookers, and tough guys, movie producers and gangsters, stoners and pimps, even the humble voice of a musical legend, this eclectic mix of characters unravel the 1990's and opens the door to a wide array of critics leaving only one opinion that is truly relevant, yours.
