The True Romance Blu-ray presentation by Arrow Video impresses with a 4K restoration and HDR/Dolby Vision grading, providing a noticeably brighter and more organic visual quality. While maintaining the original look, it sharpens details and enriches colors, overcoming past shortcomings and adhering closely to its 2.39:1 aspect ratio.

Audio: 83

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track on the 'True Romance' Blu-ray excels with immersive environmental effects and clean dialogue, though it's not overly aggressive. While the 2.0 track offers the most authentic theatrical audio, the 5.1 delivers superior spaciousness, enhancing action scenes with precise surround engagement.
