A Blast (even though it is a Hollywood-ised Tarantino film) - POSSIBLE SPOILERS!

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 2004)

True Romance is the story of how Clarence (a comic book store employee, obsessed by Kung Fu and Elvis) and Alabama (a call girl) fall for each other, are chased by both gangsters and the police with a case full of cocaine.
True Romance is an excellent film - a thrilling mix of love, gangsters and those Tarantino cult pop-culture references. There are so many stand-out performances - the lead couple (Christian Slater / Patricia Arquette), Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper (gotta love the Sicillian speech scene!), Brad Pitt (as the crazy stoner) and Gary Oldman (the wannabe black white pimp).
True Romance feels like a Hollywood-ised version of a Quentin Tarantino film - written by Tarantino, but directed by Tony Scott (Top Gun fame). Apparently - the ending was changed (to make it more happy) and the story was made linear (as opposed to a Tarantino-esquire non-linear story). If True Romance had a fault - it would be this. But this is a relatively minor problem - the strong cast and screenplay sees this movie through.
Definitely recommended!
