Best start to a movie I have ever seen

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2007)

True Romance is a film that has been rated very highly and rightly so, although I found that when Clarence and Alabama hit the road heading towards LA the film dies a little. Why? I guess because the first 30 minutes was the best start to a movie I have ever encountered and so once there was a change in pace the movie lost interest a little. If I were the director no way I'd kill off such a great character in Drexl so soon.
The movie did have a strong ending though when everyone was gathered at the hotel room for the exchange of money for drugs where a final shootout takes place.
I enjoyed Val Kilmer who played the mentor just before Clarence was about to make a decision - Killin's the hard part, getting away with it, that's easy. You think a cop gives a f**k about a pimp? Listen. Every pimp in the world gets shot. Two in the back of the f**kin head. Cops'd throw a party, man As long as your not at the scene with a smokin gun in your hand you'll get away with it This movie had so many well known actors who all played their part from Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper and a younger James Gandolfini. Even Brad Pitt put in a great performance as Floyd who sat around all day smokin drugs.
The only weakness I found in this movie was straight after Christopher Walken kills Dennis Hopper which was a scene that was brilliantly written.
True Romance was a well written and acted out movie!!!
