Product Description
A pair of unlikely lovers find a suitcase full of valuable mob contraband, and attempt to take it from Detroit to L.A. to sell, but the gangsters and
Amazon.com
It was directed with energetic skill by Top Gun Tony Scott, but this breathtaking 1993 thriller (think of it as an adolescent crime fantasy on steroids) has Quentin Tarantino written all over it. True Romance is really part of a loose trilogy that includes Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, with a crackling Tarantino screenplay that rides a fine line between raucous comedy and violent excess. Christian Slater plays Clarence, the comic-book lover who meets a beguiling prostitute named Alabama (Patricia Arquette), confronts her vicious pimp (Gary Oldman), and embarks on a cross-country odyssey with $5 million worth of Mafia cocaine. Mayhem ensues, culminating in a favorite Tarantino climax--the "Mexican standoff"--in which a roomful of guys are pointing guns at each other, waiting to see who shoots first. Brutal, profane, and totally outrageous, True Romance is not for everyone, but with a supporting cast that includes Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, and Val Kilmer (as the ghost of Elvis!), you can be sure this movie will never be boring. --Jeff Shannon

THE DVD IS NOT MARKED TO PLAY IN CERTAIN AREAS AND THE DVD DOES NOT WORK, WE HAVE TRIED IT IN 5 OR 6 DIFFERENT PLAYERS THAT WORK NOW JUST FINE WITH OTHER DVDS. WE CONTACTED THEM BACK AND THE PAPERWORK WAS SO LENGHTY THAT WE SAID IT IS NOT WORTH IT. I GUESS WE SHOULD NOT EXPECT MUCH FOR THE CHEAP PRICE BUT WE GOT EXACTLY WHAT WE PAID FOR. WE ARE NOT HAPPY AT ALL WITH THE PROCESS, AGAIN WE ONLY PAID $6 WITH SHIPPING.
 THIS BLU-RAY IS FINE! August 6, 2010

I've bought this movie 3 times: VHS, DVD, and now Blu-ray. I can't believe the complaining about "bad transfers". I got this one when the price was only $11.99, in spite of negative comments. I waited too long! I can understand that people get nervous when upgrading favorites to Blu-ray. But some of the comments are silly. "The transfer is too dark" was one of them ("...whoever is responsible should be fired!" they said). This movie has ALWAYS been dark during the first part of the film: nights during winter in Detroit, with interiors in a bar, a movie theatre, and a brothel. Now, with Blu-ray, I can FINALLY see the details in the backgrounds during the first part of the film! The second part is in daytime Los Angeles, with its sunny smog, and here the colors (and detail) are also MUCH improved; AND the soundtrack! On the same disc are generous bonus commentaries and scenes as well.
If you like this movie, it's just crazy not to add this Blu-ray to your collection at its current LOWEST price!

Walken and Hopper make this movie, the whole exchange they have regarding the Scilians while racist is arguably the best scene in the movie. Brad Pitt as the stoner and Gary Oldman as the pimp are also truly remarkable. It's the minor performances that make this movie.
good movie June 24, 2010
