True Romance is by far one of my favourite films and one of my favourite Tarantino films that he didn't direct, the story is a little hard to explain but it revolves around a guy who throughout his life has been pretty lonely until one night he meets a girl who changes the course of his life forever with the domino effect truly being in place. I have to say True Romance is truly unique in its storytelling as you can stop thinking about the characters and you do find yourself rooting for this young couple to beat all the odds.
The cast is excellent in this film, Christian Slater (Clarence Worley) gives one of his best performances, Patricia Arquette (Alabama Whitman) plays this damaged character perfectly but also has her moments of badassery and the little parts in between are what makes this film special as Christopher Walken (Vincenzo Coccotti), Gary Oldman (Drexl Spivey), Chris Penn (Nicky Dimes) and Dennis Hopper (Clifford Worley) truly give great performances for the few moments they are in this film.
If you love Tarantino then this film will not disappoint as it has his signature action, dialogue and humour all sprinkled in between this beautifully directed Tony Scott film that I cannot recommend enough. I'm sure a lot of people like me didn't like this film at first but give it a second chance and I promise you will like it more with age/time.
