Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2001)

What do you get when you combine Quentin Tarantino's writing with Tony Scott's directing? One hell of a good time.
"True Romance" is an overblown action flick that even throws in the kitchen sink and entertains like the dickens. Most of the time, action movies bore me to tears. Not in this case. When you're not on the floor, in stitches from the hilarious script, you will be mesmerized by the abundance of big name actors. I swear, half of Hollywood stops by and says "hi" in this one. Be it Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, James Gandolfini, Samuel L. Jackson, Val Kilmer, Chirs Penn, Bronson Pinchot, Saul Rubinek, or Michael Rappaport, you will recognize someone and be amazed that they're in it. The list just keeps going on.
While action and fireworks normally get on my nerves, I actually liked it here. Not because it was done with a frantic sense of style, but because I liked the characters. Even the bad guys were fun to watch and I really cared about the two leads. The dialog, I love, and will make you wish that Tarantino would just hurry up and get back in the game. I SO miss his writing. I can't imagine what this would've been if he had directed...
I highly reccomend True Romance to anyone who wants a roller-coster ride of a movie and loves to hear profanity presented in a unique, inventive way so that it's actually funny.

I'm going all out here and giving it a 10/10.
