Leave your thoughts about True Colors.
| EmpireClark CollisOne of the best mainstream action-thrillers [in] a decade. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleTrue Romance is for the most part a delightful relic of its era. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanYou never forget you're watching a derivative, machine-tooled entertainment; the fun is in how the machine keeps spinning off course. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertTrue Colors requires more than the willing suspension of disbelief; it demands a willful abandonment of incredulity. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThe blistering confrontation scene between Hopper and Walken -- both in peak form -- will be talked about for years. It's pure Tarantino: a full-throttle blast of bloody action and verbal fireworks. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellTony Scott steers the movie like a rocket and it never slows down. |
| Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertThe movie does have the gifted Spader, superb in the thankless role of the Good One. The lightweight Cusack, however, doesn’t have the authority to play an incipient demagogue. His juvenile performance turns True Colors hopelessly monochromatic. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumAs usual, Tarantino's sense of fun is infectious but fairly heartless. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliDespite Tony Scott's occasional blundering, True Romance is still a visceral roller coaster. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyIt doesn't add up to enough, as preposterous plotting and graphic violence ultimately prove an audience turnoff. |
