Not often that I watch a film again. Bt since I was in Tarintino mood somehow, I decided to revisit his one of the most famous film he did not direct. Yes, True Romance.
The film was written by Quentin Tarantino, and it really shows with the sharp dialogue and crazy plot. The film centres around Clarence (Christian Slater) who meets and marries Alabama (Patricia Arquette). After Clarence goes to get Alabama's belongings, through a series of mishaps, he ends up with suitcase of coke and they decide to sell it. This leads to a wild adventure involving drug dealers, police and movie executives.
True Romance" is a high speed crime thriller with plenty of action, romance and dark humour and a collection of characters that make every scene bristle with excitement and interest. The plot is fascinating throughout, the dialogue is witty and entertaining and the star-studded cast deliver some great performances. A story about a young couple on the run may not seem strikingly original but this one is told with so much flamboyance, dynamism and panache that it's completely irresistible and tremendously enjoyable to watch.
Overall a solid movie with a strong plot, good character development, and all around exceptional performances. To those who shy away from the typically dark nature of Tarantino's films, note that "True Romance" has a happy ending. :)
