Don't get me wrong this is a good movie but it is not outstanding or the greatest love story ever told like some reviewers think. It does however have a good plot and has a good cast of character actors which does make for some good viewing

I loved this film because it contains action, violence, a good plot but is in essence a love story. This is possibly my favourite love story as everything about the film just makes me smile when i watch it and i can't help but love it.
Gary Oldman shows his versatility playing a disgusting pimp, Christopher Walken is excellent in his role as the Sicilian Mobster, Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater give brilliant performances as they fall in love, and Dennis Hopper is superb and so convincing as the caring dad.
The soundtrack is brilliant and the xylophone music running throughout the film is just a lovely accompaniement.
Overall, I feel that this is possibly the best scripted film by Tarantino and would put this in my top 10 films of all time. Well worth watching.

Forget Romeo and Juliet, this is a landmark piece in the telling of love stories, crime thrillers and great character chemistry.
The characters are all brilliant, be it short cameo's from Brad Pitt or Gary Oldman, or the main parts played by Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater.
The film is truly Tarantino, with the 'Sicilian scene' an absolute classic, in the same vein as 'Like a virgin' from Reservoir Dogs and the 'Biblical scene' in Pulp Fiction. Also a noteable scene is with James Gandolfini and Patricia Arquette; which is why Gandolfini was chosen to play the character of Tony in the Sopranos.

This film is one of my all time favourites, brilliantly written, cast, acted and directed. The musical score by Hans Zimmer is fantastic, a glimpse of beauty in amongst all of the drugs and violence. A classic love story. and epic crime thriller, and through and through one of the best films of the 90's if not ever.
