True Romance

Even though the material could have been handled better by the director, I still can’t give less than a four to Tarantino’s script. I imagine that the scene with Vincenzo Cocotti would probably have been one of the film’s highlights had Tarantino been the director. Otherwise, it must be the dream of many men (and possibly women) to have such a cute, blonde, indestructible bodyguard who is constantly smiling and always happy to snuggle. Anyway, I enjoyed the film and if the director shared the screenwriter's sense of humor, I would have enjoyed it beyond 5*. (2017-07-30)

Aside from Walken's Vincenzo, there's nothing here worth remembering. The dialogue lacks the bite that Tarantino would later apply to Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction. Even Scott doesn't have the form or ideas of his earlier or future films. Slightly above average, it entertains more in individual scenes than as a whole. (2005-01-31)

Even though this film is based on a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, it didn't leave any deep impression on me. I simply didn't enjoy the film, and it's as if Scott couldn't properly translate what Tarantino intended onto the screen. Perhaps that's why later on he preferred to direct everything himself or leave it to Rodriguez, with whom he simply clicked perfectly. I simply don't like True Romance. (2014-04-14)

Yeah, this is exactly my kind of thriller, with all the trimmings. The 90s, an excellent cast of actors making my ass clench, brutality juicier than in some horror movies, a fast pace, incredibly funny lines, an action-packed ending and I'm running out of breath, a really perfect road movie ride by Tony Scott. 95% (2015-01-21)

This is Tony Scott’s best film, hands down. A big share of that goes to Quentin Tarantino’s playful script that sets True Romance apart from Scott’s newer good films, like Enemy of the State. This film is not only nice to watch, but it’s at least equally nice to listen to the dialogues. (2012-02-11)
