Editorial Review:
This rock'n'roll adventure story tells of two unlikely lovers who accidentally double-cross the Detroit mob by stealing valuable contraband. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, flee to Los Angeles where they are sought by both gangsters and cops.
Description of True Romance - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition):
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
True Romance - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition) Reviews:
True to Life - Wake-Up! 
2009-12-24 - I can't believe all of the naive folks out there rating this movie low due to the unlikelihood of the main character going from comic book sales to mass murderer. This movie is outstanding and depicts a situation where true love gets Clarence in trouble with a low-life drug dealing pimp. The pimp and his bros try to kill Clarence for wanting his new wife out of prostitution so Clarence defends himself (shoots them). After taking her suitcase (he doesn't know it's the wrong case full of cocaine - Mob owned), he's now in trouble with the mob (hint - they are out for his blood too now). The mob wants their cocaine back, the FBI wants to get the mob, Clarence just wants to go about his new life with his bride, and there's a great ending. As a nearly 50 year old retired Air Force fighter pilot, I found "True Romance" to be one of my top 2 movies ever. If you believe you can still sleep with your doors unlocked today, then this movie is not for you.
There's love, GREED, and CORRUPTION (what's so different from the powerful in Washington DC today)? (Dec 2009)
