I rewatched True Romance last night.
Such a good film, stellar cast too! Patricia Arquette is hawt AF in it too.
Great movie. So many memorable scenes including the fight between Alabama and Tony Soprano.
Gary Oldman and SLJ steal the scenes with their cameos....but then again Brad Pitt is terrific....as are Tom Sizemore and Chris Penn.....then again there’s the scene with Walken and Hopper.....fuck what a movie !!!
Haven't watched it since I saw it at the movies. Must rewatch
You and me both. Even Christian Slater is good if I recall.

Bro, too many spoilers, I hate it when reviews give away way too much of the plot.

You know I'm not that sort of person but I'm willing to risk it this time by mentioning some of my favourite things; kittens, V8s and claymores.

Having seen the trailer and now @antipodean's review, I'd say don't look at anything more about it and go see it.

I probably missed 20 minutes of this due to the idiot cinema worker who sent me to the wrong theatre.
Can't say that I think it comes close to your rating, but it was a good fun action film with some decent fight scenes and some 80s throwback action.

@nepia I think it does realism and fun better than John Wick

Only if you discard the ending for realism, and then add the ending back in for fun.

Okay, so after watching so much absolute shite... I figured I'd try out this Nobody - and join the circle-jerk.
Yeah - that was fun.
I don't think I'm spoiling anything with the below...- The fact that they took what would have been the main action sequence in any other movie - and turned it into a short montage of "yeah, so that happened" - was sweet
- I actually found myself grinning like a 12-year old kid during that car-chase-ish scene... even if it wasn't as long/intricate as those in other movies. Maybe that was what made it sweet - short'n'sweet?
- My one quibble would have been the booby-traps and nonsense... so many of them were intricate pre-setup bullshit - which took just as much effort to trigger as actually... pulling a trigger.
- Oh - the music... I couldn't figure out if it was well-done or on-the-nose. I probably need to watch it again to pick up on each and every song, and how exactly the lyrics mirrored the sentiment/actions of the scene. It kinda seemed like how a teenager would soundtrack a movie - matching scenes with lyrics... but it also kinda worked spectacularly well, in most cases.
- Every time I see "Michael Ironside" in the opening credits, I'm poised - waiting to see what character is going to be played by Jeremy Irons.
4.5 jobs that Nobody did, out of 5 jobs that Somebody should have done, and Anybody could have. Or some faux-insightful bullshit like that.

Still a toss up between that and Lock Stock as to which is his best film.

It had more star power but it’s hard to top the original. Both brilliant I reckon. Loads of recycled actors too ( Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, guy who plays barman/bricktop, guy who plays one of the four card guys/Brads pikey mate etc ).
Rock n Rolla was cool but not in the league of these two.
