If shoot-'em-up, gobble-'em-down movies like The Fugitive and Jurassic Park are rated PG-13 these days, what does an R-rated action adventure look like? Like True Romance: violent to a fault, glam to the max. Full Review |

3.5/4 |
About as good as contemporary Hollywood movies get. Full Review |

|
|
Such a rush that it's only towards the end that you realise the picture is less than the sum of its impressive parts. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
A hall of fame guy's movie...[with] a macho '90s ensemble eclipsed only by Glengarry Glen Ross...the monologues--oh, the monologues! [Blu-ray] Full Review |

|
7/10 |
...a chase picture, a gangster picture, and a wacky, turbulent romance...sort of a Bonnie and Clyde on speed. Full Review |

My Favorite Movie Of All Time

B- |
Based on an early script from Tarantino, Tony Scott's wild movie is amour fou for youth of the 1990s, a gutsy, violent, often exciting picture likely to divide film critics. Full Review |
||
|
|
If the romance seldom seems 'true', the spiralling violence (script, Quentin Tarantino) does succeed, in a brutish, cod-Jacobean kind of way. Full Review |

Overrated, but still quite a bit of fun.

4/4 |
Bombards the audience with images of blazing guns, brutal beatings, and lots of gushing blood while telling a twisted and entertaining tale. Full Review |
