Modern Classic

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2000)

True Romance is one of the greatest films of the 90's. Christian Slater stars as Clarence, a lonesome soul rooted in Elvis,Kung fu movies and comic books, who gets a call girl for his birthday. Patricia Arquette's call girl turns out to be Clarence's true love. Only problem is Drexel, Alabama(Arquette's) pimp. After Clarence takes on Drexel, he winds up with a suitcase filled with cocaine. They make a run for it and head off to Hollywood. In pursuit of them is mobsters and cops. Great acting from everybody who is in this movie. Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper have a memorable scene together and Brad Pitt makes an appearance as Michael Rappaport's stoner roommate. This is one of those movies that actually takes you somewhere. Quentin Tarantino wrote a great script with marvelous directing by Tony Scott. **** out of ****
