Review of True Romance (1993) by Hotelcentral — 12 Aug 2019

This might've been a pretty good action flick. It starts off like a goofy rom-com and goes on to present us with insane bouts of violence. But then, in the middle of a scene of absolute madness, someone picks up a gun and murders a cop.

Now you could argue that the cop just executed a guy, so he's a bad guy too, but it's not an argument I'm going to hear. Any character that murders a cop is stepping out over the line and there's no turning back and when the character is one of the leads you're done. I'm out. This is why I watched a couple episodes of NYPD Blue and never went back. It's why I watched a couple eps of The Shield and never turned it on again. It's non-negotiable. It's a deal-breaker. In my book, "True Romance" is **** and that's the beginning and The End for all time.
