Amazon.com It was directed with energetic skill by Top Gun Tony Scott, but this breathtaking 1993 thriller (think of it as an adolescent crime fantasy on steroids) has Quentin Tarantino written all over it. True Romance is really part of a loose trilogy that includes Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, with a crackling Tarantino screenplay that rides a fine line between raucous comedy and violent excess. Christian Slater plays Clarence, the comic-book lover who meets a beguiling prostitute named Alabama (Patricia Arquette), confronts her vicious pimp (Gary Oldman), and embarks on a cross-country odyssey with $5 million worth of Mafia cocaine. Mayhem ensues, culminating in a favorite Tarantino climax--the "Mexican standoff"--in which a roomful of guys are pointing guns at each other, waiting to see who shoots first. Brutal, profane, and totally outrageous, True Romance is not for everyone, but with a supporting cast that includes Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, and Val Kilmer (as the ghost of Elvis!), you can be sure this movie will never be boring. --Jeff Shannon
This isn't going to be a film review. You've either seen it and know how goddam good it is, OR you haven't and can read other reviews. And also... where the hell have you been hiding, and what took you so long to get here? (LOL!) This is a review of the Arrow 4K Limited Edition (it sucks that all reviews for this title are bunched together, and you're left to guess which version is being reviewed). I saw this film when it was released, and have only owned it on DVD. I figured it was time for an upgrade. I can honestly say that I don't think it even looked this good on the big screen. I'm very impressed. Mostly, though, I bought this for the bonus content. A lot of it was on the DVD release (and probably on any Blu-ray release), but this has bit more. Plus you get a book of essays, lobby card replicas, and a 2-sided poster (you can even switch the cover of the disc case). This is an impressive set, and quality is what you'd expect from Arrow (they are beginning to rival Criterion in quality). I was able to get this on a good sale - half price (30 bucks). Is it worth 60? Probably not, but that a choice you'll need to make.Okay... here's my film review I said I wasn't going to write: Stop reading this and buy the movie, ferchrissakes!! Great script, great director, stellar cast! What more do ya want? Oh, and stay through the credits. That Chris Isaak song, "Two Hearts," is wonderful!
