True Romance (1993)
7/10
Sweet Romance film - with some bits of violence
18 December 2023
True Romance is a fun, entertaining and full of ride movie. Quite a Tarantino film you can say. If anyone would have told me this film was directed by him, I would have probably believed them.

Starring the lovely couple duo Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, along with an assemble of other great actors. This odd romance film is a pleasant surprise for anyone who whishes to watch a romance story with some bits of action and violence that only Tarantino can deliver.

I would even extend and say this movie reminded me of Baby Driver (2017), one of my all-time favorite movies. Maybe Baby was inspired by True Romance.

The script manages to swift the audience throughout the whole story: starting with what seems as a simple love tale, leading to a crime and murder, following a chase around the country and a journey for freedom.

Another element implanted into the story are the characters being film buffs and pop culture nerds, whenever there is a movie reference or a conversation about movies you can feel that it's Tarantino's writing style, a style that I love so much and wish to make myself one day.

Overall I really enjoyed this film and think it's a nice mixture between love and violence, the kind of mixture I didn't know Quentin can write but glad he did.
