Sinopsis(1)
El joven y solitario Clarence (Christian Slater) celebra su cumpleaños como de costumbre, viendo películas de kung-fu en un destartalado cine de Detroit. De repente, Alabama (Arquette), una rubia explosiva, entra en la sala derramando sus palomitas sobre él, incidente que irá seguido de una desbocada noche de pasión. Ella, en realidad, es una prostituta pagada por el mejor amigo de Clarence como regalo de cumpleaños. A pesar de ello, se enamoran y se casan. Clarence entonces intenta alejarla de la prostitución, pero tendrá que enfrentarse con su chulo (Gary Oldman) cuando va a recoger las pertenencias de su mujer. Una de las maletas contiene una considerable cantidad de cocaína que utilizarán para realizar todos sus sueños. (Tripictures)

Elvis, comic books, romance, chatty gangsters. And above all, a couple in love who just wants to improve their lives. So be careful, world, because Alabama seems to find murder romantic, and Clarence will do anything for her. Now it's just a matter of having a little luck when several killers are after you, who will stop at nothing, let alone the sight of a gun. And in the end, I couldn't stop myself either. I could have had a thousand complaints that Quentin Tarantino is actually the same since his beginnings, the screenplay rushes too quickly from one place to another, and the dialogue is too absorbed in perfectly nonsensical topics and over-the-top absurdity. But Christian Slater, in his naivety and innocence, is truly a lovable hero, Tony Scott's directing hand is perfectly steady, and the last twenty minutes are packed with tension, surprises, fresh action, emotion – and, really, pretty much everything. On top of that, Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is amazing in that it occasionally lifts the mood, sometimes drives the emotions, and even occasionally slides into irony. A genre mishmash and at the same time a sharply defined darkly humorous singular experience.

Aside from Walken's Vincenzo, there's nothing here worth remembering. The dialogue lacks the bite that Tarantino would later apply to Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction. Even Scott doesn't have the form or ideas of his earlier or future films. Slightly above average, it entertains more in individual scenes than as a whole.

Yeah, this is exactly my kind of thriller, with all the trimmings. The 90s, an excellent cast of actors making my ass clench, brutality juicier than in some horror movies, a fast pace, incredibly funny lines, an action-packed ending and I'm running out of breath, a really perfect road movie ride by Tony Scott. 95%

This is Tony Scott’s best film, hands down. A big share of that goes to Quentin Tarantino’s playful script that sets True Romance apart from Scott’s newer good films, like Enemy of the State. This film is not only nice to watch, but it’s at least equally nice to listen to the dialogues.

The most movie-like movie. Optimistic, light-hearted, except for the scenes with total massacres and the main thing is love beyond the grave. I can’t help myself thinking that this is the sort of movie that says that the world is sometimes a pile of shit, but sometimes it’s very fine. Sometimes. When you have somebody to wander the world with. This is perhaps one of Tarantino’s most restrained screenplays, but this gives his fans a good chance to sit back and enjoy his work. And Elvis!
