My views and Perspective:

As in my previous reviews I already mentioned that I am big fan of Tarantino and honestly speaking I watched this movie just because of Tarantino. I think after seeing poster and seeing the casts, director and writer names on cover how can one wait to watch this movie?

Plot and Performances
The film starts with a love story but after that movie switches to crime and thriller genre. There are lots of twists in the plot so you can't step up while watching movie. The plot is original and magnetizing. The storyline is thrilling. Sometimes you might think that what will happens next but I bet most of the times you will find that you were wrong. There are more than dozen stars in the film as lead and in supporting role. Christian Slater and Patricia deliver a solid performance. The roles of some stars are very small. We got Brad Pitt, Chris penn, James and Kilmer. Although supporting casts also perform well. Gray Oldman is great as Drexel. This movie is a treat for fans of stars.

Direction and Best Scenes
Tony Scott is a brother of famous director Ridley Scott and is known for directing. He wisely chooses the casts and makes a right balance between cast and camera. I think this movie could be better if it is directed by Tarantino. Although he had written the script but he sold his script and later this film was directed by Tony and he used his talent and makes True Romance a successful movie. Action scenes are similar to other movies but contain violence. There are many memorable scenes which we can't forget. The Hopper/ Walken show down scene is best among all scenes and you would love to watch again and again.

Conclusion:

Movie has everything necessary to make a masterpiece. Quality actors, crime script, brilliant direction and quotable dialogues. This movie is worth watching. You can watch this movie several time and I bet each time you will get fascinated. So watch and enjoy the masterpiece. Movie contains graphic violence and adult language so doesn't watch this movie with children.
