The whole thing rattles along like that pink Cadillac they're driving.
November 19, 2008
Provides some amazing encounters, bravura acting turns and gruesome carnage. But it doesn't add up to enough.

The movie may be stylistically visceral, but it's aesthetically corrupt. It might as well have been called Pump Up the Violence.

The only thing that goes wrong with the movie is Christian Slater... the failure of its central character ends up being an irritation, but not a film-crippling problem.

This is the best film Quentin Tarantino never made.

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.

If the romance seldom seems 'true', the spiralling violence (script, Quentin Tarantino) does succeed, in a brutish, cod-Jacobean kind of way.

Quentin Tarantino's dirty, funny and unpredictably violent genius powers True Romance, directed by Tony Scott.
August 23, 2012
...[a] violently funny genre mishmash that gave Tony Scott's new life, and also transmitted Quentin Tarantino's vision more credibly than the screenwriter and then-novice director could have done himself.

It's Tarantino's gutter poetry that detonates True Romance. This movie is dynamite.

...a pulpy good time that holds up remarkably well two decades after its theatrical release...

This film's various outrages are committed unapologetically, and are very much in the service of its bizarre story.
