This rock'n'roll adventure story tells of
two
unlikely lovers who accidentally double-cross the Detroit mob by stealing valuable contraband. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, flee to Los Angeles where they are sought by both gangsters and cops.
"You are so Cool!!"
"Quentin carried the screenplay for this gem for something like 7 years before he sold it and still my favorite work from him. Everyone cool is in this film, no directing from our Pulp Fiction friend, but I got to read a copy of his screenplay (complete with typos!) while watching it. Spot-on!!"PILATE: A Brutal Bible Tale

Don't miss this one!
I, like most people do not remember this when it came out in theaters. I caught it on cable late one night and was blown away. I ran out and got the 2
disc
DVD Unrated/
Director
's
cut
right away.
How a star studded action movie like this slipped through the cracks, I don't know. But do yourself a favor and DON'T MISS THIS ONE!
Contrary to others, I think the DVD's extra's are fantastic. Well worth the money.
WOW!
It had been quite a while since I had seen
True
Romance
- my VHS tape warped - and I had forgotten just how good it is.
That said, those who have never seen it should be warned that the film is what a friend of mine calls "HARD R-rated". In other words, it is explicit in every sense of an R-rated movie.
The
director
's
cut
has few changes that I noticed from the VHS
edition
I had, with one very noticeable and effective change in the final shootout scene. It is a decided improvement,
The best thing about the
two
-disk set is all the
special
features. Those who do not enjoy commentary won't have a lot to cheer about but those who do will be ecstatic. After watching the movie straight through the night the package came in the mail, I went back and watched the individual commentaries on specific scenes by some of the stars-in-smaller-roles such as Val Kilmer and Brad Pitt. Then I watched the deleted or altered scenes with commentary by director Tony Scott. That was terrific. I loved hearing him say things such as, "I wish I'd left that in." A couple of times I wished he had, too.
Then I went back and picked scenes to re-watch with commentary by Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. Every minute of sleep lost to this marathon was worth it.
Once again, this is not a film for anyone who is offended by four-letters words, graphic violence or blatant sex. I wish that it were less in-your-face R so that I could recommend it to a wider audience. Nevertheless, the acting is flawless, direction on target and some scenes are absolutely brilliant. The sheer number of talented actors whose screen time is minimal is enough to make it worth the running time for serious aficianados of film.

A good escape from reality movie.
Now that I can go back and watch this movie over and over I can see how utterly ridiculous the plot of the movie is.
I won't give anything away but this movie is so unrealistic it's almost unwatchable.
Why am I giving it four stars then?
Its fun, it's fast, it's got some great actors.
Gary Oldman anyone?
One of his best roles ever as the drug dealer Drexel.
The action is almost nonstop and the script is fast paced, exciting and funny in some places.
Is it a
romance
movie???
I'd say...........NO!!!
There's nothing romantic about this movie, so for everyone who is saying this is the best romantic movie they'd ever seen????
If this movie is what you consider romantic then your personal lives must be VERY scary indeed!!!
That and I could have done without the OVERUSE OF HOMOPHOBIC SLURS!!!!!!!!!
That is really what kills me most about this movie.
It's old, it's tired, shut it already!!!
I'll recommend this movie for action fans, and people who are not easily offended as there is a ton of violence and gore and well........everything else that offends is in there too.
Oh and one more thing,Brad Pitt is amazing and DID NOT get enough screen time. Otherwise......
A classic? No.
Worth a rental?
Yup.

What we have here is drugs, the mob, comic books and pimps
Dirty drugs, low money and
true
love are a heady combination. These are really dumb young people? An Hollywood cocktail of mob, cops and a drug deal mixed with murder makes for a surprise of sudden death. Quentin Taratino
is the only guy who gets humor out of torture scenes? The cops, the mob and
two
sets of clueless fools makes for unexpected confrontation.
More unexpected is a happy ending.
If I were younger and hadn't seen this done with real class, I might have given it 5 stars.
