People say snoozer!!!!!
Natural Born Killers [Blu-ray]
I remember the exact moment this movie came out, the soundtrack as well. People argue and have different opinions, and to that to each his own. Oliver Stone nailed this movie with a vision, a message, and an over the top artistic flair. When I first watched this movie I was glued to the screen. Abuse can do things to people, but is still no excuse for murder. Although, this movie takes fiction and makes it reality. The American media does make killers, etc. infamous. It almost reminds me of "Divine's" character in John Water's "Female Trouble". This movie is one that might be disturbing, but the music the visuals makes it a masterpiece that should not be looked over. To the people who have the opinion of this sucks, I think they should reflect.....and watch the news and wake up. Anyway just watch the darn movie!

A SNOOZER PARODY DONT WASTE YOUR TIME
I agree with a couple of points only. No, this not a typical robbery and killing spree movie. Its filled with satire and parody on everything you can think of. If you watch this movie be expecting an extreme satire using hardcore violence and black comedy. I myself wasnt warned and I expected something near a pulp fiction or a resivoir dogs type move, NO.. you getting a "saturday night live" skit thats a couple hours long, only difference is they include hardcore violence. The rest will have you falling asleep, not much of the storyline through dialogue makes any sense at all. Dont waste your money!! I would rate this with right up there with the "scary movie" parodys.

One of my all time faves...
What I love the most about NBK isn't the cast. I believe that too often, people see the cast and are disappointed in the movie. What really hooked me was the visuals of the film. It isn't like every other film, and when Quentin Tarantino's well runs dry, I'd love to see his version of the film. I really liked the varying camera shots and the animation. It does have kind of a music video feel to it. I also love the fact that something is ALWAYS going on, and it holds my attention, which is a good thing, seeing that I get tired of movies easily. I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of what American society has become over time, and truly appreciate the point of the movie that it tries to drive home. This film is a little cerebral, and may take more than one session to appreciate the film. It is definitely a love/hate film. Me personally, I love it. To the NBK haters out there, definitely give the film another try. I didn't really like Fear and Loathing when I first saw it, but I LOVE that movie. If you nitpick every part of the film, you have ruined it for yourself, because now there's nothing to enjoy about it, because it has been roughly criticized. Just sit back and enjoy the film. If you're into conventional film, and you want to see a dime a dozen picture, you have come to the wrong place. Sure it's a blood bath, but what's to be expected from a film called Natural Born Killers?

I'd give it a WARNING - DO NOT BUY if that were available
Natural Born Killers DVD


Natural Born Killers is so bad that I just had to review it. I normally don't review things I don't like, but this is sooooo bad I just had to. Oliver Stone must have been smoking something to make this farce. It's sort of a Bonnie and Clyde on Acid.

NBK is a film that has a lot of twists to it when it comes to direction and overall approach. The film itself is told in a variety of styles and ways that includes hints of indie, underground, documentary, sickish cartoons, blockbuster action, and pop culture power.

In NBK, we are introduced to Mickey (Woody Harrelson) and Molly (Juliette Lewis) who are two lovers on the run who also seem to be in the habit of shot gunning down pretty much anyone that gets in their way. Their characters are superbly told through the conviction that Woody and Juliette's efforts produce. A couple who has a lot of issues, but that also seem to have just as good an understanding of modern day civilization as the next guy. Through the various stops at diners and gas stations that continue to leave bodies in the wake, they start to become famous. Through the local media outlets to nationally televised programs and Popular Magazine Syndications, their story begins to develop into that of legend, and a popular one at that.

Stone's film is not as black and white as many have said it is. It's not just about "violence", but also the media's glamorization of it. It also touches on aspects of tragic youth that can ultimately change a person's life forever. From dialogue similar to Charles Manson interviews to quick quips of Waco, Rodney King, and The Menendez brothers, the film never lets up its image intense onslaught of murder, mayhem, and madness.

Not recommended for anyone. Normally when you buy a DVD you want to watch it more than once. I can't imagine anyone wanting to do that.
