    Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

    It is hard to say what is more dispiriting about True Romance the movie itself or the fact that someone somewhere is sure to applaud its hollow, dime-store nihilism and smug pseudo-hip posturing as a bright new day in American cinema. [10 Sept 1993]

    USA Today Susan Wloszczyna

    These gun-crazy, lust-loopy kids on the run are irresistible in the best crime rush since “GoodFellas.” [10 Sept 1993]

    Chicago Tribune Gene Siskel

    A stupid, stylized road picture. [10 Sept 1993]

    Variety

    Despite Tony Scott's occasional blundering, True Romance is still a visceral roller coaster.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    True Romance, which feels at times like a fire sale down at the cliche factory, is made with such energy, such high spirits, such an enchanting goofiness, that it's impossible to resist. Check your brains at the door.

    The New York Times Elvis Mitchell

    A vibrant, grisly, gleefully amoral road movie. [10 Sept 1993, p.C5]

    Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

    You never forget you're watching a derivative, machine-tooled entertainment; the fun is in how the machine keeps spinning off course.
