Racism and Elvis

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2005)

Think about this movie as a series of skits with the most prolific/clichéd actors of the early 1990s and you'll come to appreciate its worth on a whole new level. True Romance is an SNL skit gone serious. Plus, there's enough latent racism to cover three Andrew Dice Clay monologues (though we all know that Dice was being ironic, but that's another discussion). In conclusion, any time Christopher Walkenand Dennis Hopper share the screen you can't go wrong. It's like coke and girls with low self-esteem.
In addition, Val Kilmer plays an unseen Elvis, Michael Rappaport is his normal goofy white boy/wigger and in the history of cinema Brad Pitt does more with three lines than any other untalented actor with great bone structure, ever. To top it all off, the soundtrack kicks my ass and everyone's ass I've ever met.
