Tony Scott's more straight ahead style worked perfectly on this, we got all of Tarantinos awesome characters & dialogue without his helter-skelter approach, the studio should insist on another director more often.
You don't seem to realize this, so it is my duty to inform you that Quintin's non-linear narratives are written into the scripts. He's not taking a script that he wrote as linear and deciding as director to present it non-linearly. The very script itself is non-linear. Tony Scott isn't the reason that True Romance is linear, it's because Quintin wrote that film linearly.
