and the cast is great too.....
what a cracker jack of a film TRUE ROMANCE is. its directed by tony scott but the script is clearly quentin tarantino. i understand that it is part of a trilogy that includes RESORVOIR DOGS and PULP FICTION. it was "fiction" that got the raves the other 2 films were for some reason not anywhere as popular especially this one that i think is better than the others. christian slater plays a down and out drifter who beleives he meetes the ghost of elvis presley who guides him and gives him advise. he meets him in the bathroom when hes alone. hes a fan of kung fu movies and while sitting in a movie theatre one night he meets patricia arquette . they get together and she later admits he was set up by his boss. shes really a call girl sent there as a birthday gift for him. the couple however do fall deep in love and they marry. he wants to go to see her ex pimp ( an incredible acting performance by gary oldman who thinks hes black) who treated her badly and tell him shes not coming back. it gets nasty. he returns with what he beleives is her suitcase of clothes but when he gets back he discovers he has a full suitcase of uncut cocaine worth millions. the mob who controlled the pimp and the gang he belongs too goes after them. the couple hight tail it to L.A. thinking theyre clear. what follows is one hell of an action packed sometimes funny , sometimes bloody but never boring incredibly acted, superbly directed from one of the best scripts ever written film youll ever want to see. what film can boast DENNIS HOPPER,CHRISTIAN SLATER,GARY OLDMAN,VAL KILMER ,CHRISTOPHER WALKEN, BRAD PITT,SAMUEL JACKSON,JAMES GANDOLFINI and BRONSON PINCHOT? the scene where dennis hopper tells christopher walken ( a scicilian mafia king) that sicilians are really niggers" is unforgettable and laugh out loud funny. the scene between patricia arquette and james gandolfini ( who since had become famous for the sopranos) will have you cringing and squirming. eventually the movie rolls to a crackling climax with a sting operation where everything breaks loose. sometimes hilarious ,often bloody part allegory ( does slater really see elvis?) every inch of this wonderfull film is a joy to watch. wonder what else tom scott has done?
Strange name great gangster movie
This is a very under-rated flick, this is around the time people thought Slater was the next Nicholson(?). Anyway good movie on both sides of the fence girls will like the love story and guys will love the mobster drug dealing story (even got James Gandolfini in it!) Good movie all around.
NOTHING is rotten in Denmark here!
I just purchased this unrated directors cut of True Romance, my favorite movie of all time. I didn't even know that this DVD existed and the delivery couldn't come FAST ENOUGH. I watched it last night and was blown away.
Seeing disc two that included the actor interviews, the extra scenes, and the director/writer commentary were SO COOL, SO COOL, SO COOL. If you love this movie than you have to buy this DVD for your collection! It was also interesting seeing the original ending that Tarantino intended in his screenplay, and was nice hearing his opinion of why it would of worked better if he had directed the movie, rather than how Tony Scott chose to end it and why. It totally made sense and appreciated seeing what was "supposed to be" and what actually "was used" instead. Again this is a MUST HAVE for any True Romance fan!!! 10 stars and hats off to Quentin Tarantino and Tony Scott!! Bravo!!
