True Romance is the best film ever made!! (no joke)

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2000)

True Romance has it all. The cast: combines experienced actors such as Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper, up and coming actors such as Micheal Rappaport, people making names for themselves such as Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette and Brad Pitt, and Cameos from Samuel L Jackson, Val Kilmer and Gary Oldman. The plot is comprised of many different genres including romance, action and comedy. The romance between Clarence and Alabamma is in my mind the greatest on screen romance in a film. The attraction between them remains strong throughout the film. The comedy varies between farcical scenes such as the three way shoot out at the end and the pop culture chatter from all the characters. The action also crops up in every other scene. There are even some highly serious scenes including the classic mafia scene at the beginning. The superb direction from Tony Scott and the brilliant script from Quentin Tarantino together with the outstanding performances from the cast and great soundtrack all contribute to make this film a classic all round film and in my mind, the best film there is.
