Review of True Romance (1993) by Arrivist — 27 Mar 2021
A special-needs version of Wild at Heart (1990). True Romance is a perfect example of how you can't make a good film out of a bad script. Tarantino's degeneracy oozes through the dialogue and obcene violence.
His racism and misogeny particularly apparent in this stinker. It's well directed by the late Tony Scott, but a lot of this is undone by the poor editing. There is a strong scene between Walken and Hopper, but the use of the n-word leaves a bad taste, particularly when this was an annecdote Tarantino used to tell at parties.
