True Romance
9/10
Had this recommended to me by a mate and yeah it’s really good. I really really like the main couple they have great chemistry together, for how insane the film is they’re geniunely really sweet together and I was glad to see them both escape at the end, it’s a perfect blend of a good crime movie and romance film. it has a great ensemble overall actually, lots of big name actors here from before they were mega stars and they’re all really good. In particular I liked Brad Pitt as the comic relief flloyd he was so chill. and Christopher Walken and James Gandolfini as the villains are great. The writing is great it’s really funny at times and that interrogation scene in the trailer-home I was a big fan of. Aswell as that the ending has one of the most brilliant shootouts ever and it was nice of the film to throw me a bone and spare all the characters I liked. The score is absolutely beautiful, I loved the sensationalised colourful aesthetic of LA, it really gave me GTA Vice city vibes (I wonder if rockstar used this film as inspiration) and also it’s super entertaining, it’s just short of 2 hours and it never gets dull in my opinion.
Definitely give this a watch, it’s written by Tarantino got a huge cast of familiar faces and is super entertaining
