Clarence is a Kung Fu fan and maybe is on his way to reaping the trophies. After a while, Clarence 's life changes when he meets a whore called Alabama. Alabama is the girl who was able to change the life of Clarence to the worst, where Clarence began to take drugs by mistake. The couple decided to move to California, plan to sell the drug and enjoy the good life in South America. But in the end they may be caught in a trap by a group of underworld figures as well as police.
The only thing that goes wrong with the movie is Christian Slater... the failure of its central character ends up being an irritation, but not a film-crippling problem.
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.

...[a] violently funny genre mishmash that gave Tony Scott's new life, and also transmitted Quentin Tarantino's vision more credibly than the screenwriter and then-novice director could have done himself.
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.
