Packs a lot of punch

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2003)

I love this movie. I am by no means a Tarantino groupie (have only seen Reservoir Dogs once!!), but I rate this movie above Pulp Fiction (if only just slightly) Whenever I go to my local video store and can't find a movie to grab my attention, I reach for True Romance because I know I will get an enjoyable, action-packed, funny, interesting and totally engrossing 2 hours of entertainment. Slater and Arquette are great, but to see Walken, Hopper, Pitt, Galdolfino and (barely recogniseable as Elvis)Val Kilmer strut their stuff with no limitations is simply classic cinema. Just a great ride and possibly my favourite movie of all time. A relative unknown in the Tarantino stable, I highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a mix of romance, action, comedy, violence and suspense....and, of course, the nice guy wins!!!
