wildly improbable and delightfully unpredictable, even when charging through some very familiar territory

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 12, 2022

A bubble-gum movie packed with quirky characters and moving at the speed of a ricocheting pinball.

Scott had a knack for drawing out emotions from his actors, which in turn, creates strong performances and a movie in which audiences can become emotionally invested.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 27, 2022

“True Romance” remains a sweet, if not strange, romantic action comedy from one of the best directors in modern cinema, written by one of cinema’s highest rated screenwriters, and featuring a cast that’s wall-to-wall incredible…

This is the realm of meta-cinema, where those who make movies, those who long to be in them and those who model their behaviour on them all come together to contrive between them a classic movie climax: a shoot-out...

Gritty, shocking, sexy, and violent, Tony Scott's film feels like the perfect union between frenetic action, darkly humorous mayhem, and biting dialogue.

Tarantino only writes stand- out scenes. The plot moves from one brilliantly off-beat moment to the next.

This is the best film Quentin Tarantino never made.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 22, 2015

Quentin Tarantino's dirty, funny and unpredictably violent genius powers True Romance, directed by Tony Scott.

The whole thing rattles along like that pink Cadillac they're driving.

...a pulpy good time that holds up remarkably well two decades after its theatrical release...

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 1, 2013

...[a] violently funny genre mishmash that gave Tony Scott's new life, and also transmitted Quentin Tarantino's vision more credibly than the screenwriter and then-novice director could have done himself.

If shoot-'em-up, gobble-'em-down movies like The Fugitive and Jurassic Park are rated PG-13 these days, what does an R-rated action adventure look like? Like True Romance: violent to a fault, glam to the max.
