Clarence is a loner who is inexperienced in the ways of love. But that changes when he meets Alabama, an irresistible sex kitten. After a whirlwind courtship, the two are married and their lives change for both the better and the worse. So in love, Clarence commits a terrible crime defending Alabama’s honour and with this one romantic gesture, the two are thrust headlong into a collision coarse with both gangsters and cops, as the mishap pushes them on a feverish venture to get out of Detroit and into L.A.
Even though he has a great love of violence and bloodshed, I do love the stories and films of Quentin Tarantino. True Romance was a delightfully gritty and course romance/drama/comedy that was filled with familiar faces, violence, memorable characters, romance, and plenty of action. What a great movie!

What I particularly like about this film was that it was action-packed and violent, like most Tarantino films, but there was a great romance and comedy to play against all the terrible things that happen. A little like Cohen Brothers comedy, you have to watch the entire thing to understand why it’s so clever.
Christian Slater stars as Clarence and he was brilliant. He was maniacal, aggressive, loyal, charming, and completely sincere, and the chemistry between him and Patricia Arquette, who played Alabama and was just delightful, seemed really natural and genuine. The two were just great together, with a sense of innocence and spontaneity about them. Simply delightful.
Starring Gary Oldman, Val Kilmer, Dennis Hopper, Chris Penn, Brad Pitt, and Christopher Walken, True Romance was a wonderful film filled with violence, romance, drugs, bloodshed, comedy, memorable characters, and plenty of action. It was a great flick.
