Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
If shoot-'em-up, gobble-'em-down movies like The Fugitive and Jurassic Park are rated PG-13 these days, what does an R-rated action adventure look like? Like True Romance: violent to a fault, glam to the max.

rotten:
Provides some amazing encounters, bravura acting turns and gruesome carnage. But it doesn't add up to enough.

fresh:
If the romance seldom seems 'true', the spiralling violence (script, Quentin Tarantino) does succeed, in a brutish, cod-Jacobean kind of way.

fresh:
This film's various outrages are committed unapologetically, and are very much in the service of its bizarre story.

It's Tarantino's gutter poetry that detonates True Romance. This movie is dynamite.
