B-movie loving geek fights for his True Romance

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2003)

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*
"True Romance" is one of my favorites. Christian Slater wins one for all the B-movie, comic book loving guys out there. He's a goober who works in a comic book store and starts dating a beautiful blonde (Patricia Arquette). They meet during a Sonny Chiba movie. She is the dream girl. A girl who can watch B-movies and likes comic books. Wow. Where can I find one? Unfortunately she is a hooker and Slater wants to settle business with her pimp. This leads to much violence and drug selling, as the two young lovers break out on their own.
I think most people were scared away from this one because of the title. The title "True Romance" won't excite the bloodthirsty action fans. That's a shame because there is a ton of action in it.
You have to buy the unrated version. There is more violence in the fight scenes. The fight between Slater and the pimp, (Gary Oldman), is great as is the fight between Arquette and the hitman in the hotel room.

Very cool movie. 9/10.
