Film: True Romance (1993)
Director: Tony Scott
Starring: Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette and Dennis Hopper
Running Time: 2 hours
Rating: 8/10
In all the wonderful tributes and obituaries that appeared shortly after the passing of Tony Scott, there was an awful lot of love for True Romance. Love that reminded me that I haven't seen this film in years. It was only sensible that I added it to my LoveFilm list and settled down for another evening with 90s Christian Slater (my favourite of all the Christian Slaters).
It was a delight; True Romance is a brilliant film. There is violence, drugs, sex and an awful lot of talking, all trademarks of a great Tarantino script. With a solid supporting cast and lots of familiar faces popping up, True Romance is a love story with a difference.
Also, I think it managed to cure me of my old man crush on Gary Oldman...
