Arquette has some perky breasts!

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2002)

I used to think "True Romance" was pretty cool, now I just think it's dross. Tony Scott's high concept direction seems to be the film's most notable flaw. He's an earnest filmmaker and what this film needed was some tongue-in-cheek attitude enabling it to conquer the incongruity inherent in the narrative. The only high-point in the film, a film marred by too many brain-dead violent sequences, is the scene involving Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken. It's the closest the film comes to anything like decent acting. Arquette's tits are pretty respectable too. The allusions to Malick's "Badlands" are singularly farfetched and this film doesn't even deserve to exist in the shadow of Malick's masterpiece. Very disappointing all round.
