most mens dream women lies within Patricia

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2009)

For me this movie has to be my all-time favourite, until (if-ever) i see a better one with a better story and better actors(not-likely). Christian slater has always been,in my opinion,one of the finest young stars to have emerged when this film was first released. His James-dean style image adds a certain depth of character to his acting in this and many of his movies. Patricia arquette plays the role of Clarence's (slaters) girlfriend so well, that i stand here today and challenge any-man to tell me that you don't remotely want to love or get to know her in at least a small way. The way Alabama (arquette) genuinely falls for Clarence for me was one of the many fine-points about this excellent script. Coupled with the fact that there love for each other bonds almost instantly & Clarence's jackanapeses makes Alabama his perfect life-partner, because they are chalk & cheese plus she tames her Clarence!!. Both these factors make the scene - where James Gandolfini subjects her to the beating to obtain information, genuinely heartfelt for the viewer. Every thread inside me wanted to put gandolfini down, and have Alabama run back into Clarence's hands. Because there love for each other was just meant to be. Yes this film has a-lot of action & violence in it, but this just makes Quentin Tarantino's predominant love-story a-lot more genuine. Adding tony-Scott's direction makes this one movie you will never forget...... Because it really was TRUE ROMANCE.
