“Cynical, seen-it-all-before smart ass that I am, I canu0026#39;t but help love u0026#39;True Romanceu0026#39;! On paper it looks like a sure fire recipe for disaster. A typically hip pop-culture saturated Quentin Tarantino script directed by schlockmeister Tony Scott, the man responsible for rancid Simpson/Bruckheimer u0026quot;blockbustersu0026quot; like u0026#39;Top Gunu0026#39; and u0026#39;Days Of Thunderu0026#39;. But some how it really works! The movie is especially helped by a dynamite cast, one of the most impressive in many years. Possibly only Julian Schnabelu0026#39;s underrated biopic u0026#39;Basquiatu0026#39; can rival its mixture of star power and cult faves. Slater, Arquette, Walken, Hopper, Oldman, Kilmer, Penn, Sizemore, Jackson, Rapaport, Gandolfini, Argo, Corrigan, etc.etc. These are many of the finest actors working today. Add them to an electric story of love on the run, jam packed with amusing, highly quotable dialogue and plenty of action and laughs, and you have yourself a genuinely entertaining update of a classic 70s drive-in movie. u0026#39;True Romanceu0026#39; is a wild ride not to be missed!”
