4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent early Tarantino script,
By
This review is from: True Romance: Unrated [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Directed by Tony ScottStarring Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette and Dennis Hopper 120 minutes Video: Video codec: VC-1 Video resolution: 1080p Aspect ratio: 2.40:1 Audio: English: Dolby TrueHD 5.1 English: Dolby Digital 5.1 French: Dolby Digital 5.1 Subtitles: English, Spanish, French This isn't a great Blu-ray presentation. Detail is murky in places and the image is overly scrubbed. Probably 3/5. The reason I like it is the writing. Tarantino's dialogue has a distinct feel. You either like it or you don't. I find it very funny and I love it. He wasn't at his peak here, but was establishing his voice still. There are excellent moments and some not so good. Slater does pretty well as Clarence. Arquette's Alabama is an essential character and their relationship works. The best scene in the movie is where Christopher Walken's character interrogates Hopper's. Just brilliant writing. It's full of star power with big name actors playing tiny roles. It's very violent in the way of a Tarantino movie. The basic plot is very simple and could be summarized in a single paragraph, but this is more about the journey. Humour, a Mexican standoff, blood, bizarre dialogue, it's all there. Not in the same league as Pulp Fiction, but it felt more like a Tarantino movie than a Scott movie.
