Mullaney (Leeds, UK) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Oliver Stones controversial Natural Born Killers was developed from a script by Quentin Tarantino although Tarantino was unhappy with the artisitic direction Stone chose and distanced himself from the project. br / br /The movie follows murderous lovers, Mickey and Mallory Knox as they carve a bloody path across America and become media darlings in the process. The film looks like an acid trip and flits between colour, black white and animation, cut with violent imagery of death and destruction. Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis are on fine form as the stone cold psychopaths and are supported by Robert Downey Jr playing the deplorable journalist Wayne Gale and Tommy Lee Jones as a highly strung prison warden. br / br /The films relentless violence and glorification of Mickey and Mallory's antics recieved a lot of criticism and the film remained banned for 8 years. I think the film is misunderstood. Stone is trying to comment on the media obsession with violence and crime. It's like an exaggerated OJ simpson trial which descended into a shambling media circus where the severity of the crimes and victims were completely forgotten. This is exactly what happens in Natural Born Killers only they just happened to kill 52 people for kicks. br / br /Natural Born Killers is a difficult watch as the camera work and style are so shaky but I think this represents the insanity of Mickeys mind. I can't recommend this movie highly enough, the final act where the pair are in prison is absolutely brilliant. The special edition features the notorious court room scene with Ashley Judd and the severed head on a stick bit from the prison riot. br / br /Like This? Try: Badlands A Review Of The NBK DVD June 21, 2002 5 out of 8 found this review helpful OK let me start off by saying that everyone has reviewed the film and its content, i am not going to do that because its been done enough so i am going to review the DVD's features, sound and picture etc.pSpecial Features :-br: Commentary by Oliver Stone {director}br: 6 Deleted scenes (with intro by director Oliver Stone)br: Cast and Crew Informationbr: Uncensored USA Theatrical Trailerbr: Alternate Endingbr: Chaos Rising documantarybr: Charlie Rose interviews.pThe deleted scenes are what make up the DIRECTORS CUT of Natural Born Killers, and they usually are funny (Hun Brothers) and give a bit more on the story (Steven Wright scene) and others are just psychadelic and wierd (The Drive In scene and The Desert scene).pThe commentary by Oliver Stone is like most commantaries, its basically how different things were done and why.pCast and Crew Info - A Still sheet with names of stars, producers etc.pUncensored USA Theatrical Trailer - The trailer that was used to promote the cinema version of NBK.pAlternate Ending - I won't spoil it.pChaos Rising Documantary (26 mins) - Info on how it was made and brief info on actors. Feats previously inseen bits.pCharlie Rose Interview - Funny and Informative.pThe picture is in the WIDESCREEN 4:3 format which makes for better viewing and the pictue is crystal clear.pThe sound is good (DTS 6.1 Dolby) and is perfect with surround speakers. A classic movie of the 1990s July 21, 2001 6 out of 13 found this review helpful Oliver Stone's film Natural Born Killers follows mass murderers Micky (Woody Harrleson) and Malory (Juliette Lewis) Knox in their journey of chaos across the USA. A stunning peice of film, with many projected images in the background, changes of camera angles and the use of black white footage make this film stand out from the rest. This film shows how the media made two mass killers into the biggest celeb names in the country.pThis film is easily the greatest film of the last decade. A simple love story, overlayed with the fact that the two lovers are going on a killing spree and nothing will keep them apart: including an abusive father, a corupt law man and a ratings-hungry talk show host. Even the soundtrack is fantasic.pGo and treat yourself to a copy today. A film as deranged as the lead characters,hell yeah July 27, 2006 sean paul mccann (ireland) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful Natural born killers is a film that is needs an open mind and an understanding that films can have a hidden message or else this film will pass you by and you will never see the brilliance of it,it appears to me that many have missed the point. br /The film is an ode to americas glorified fascination with the macabre and how serial killers for example can gain legendary status and thats because of the media. br /Granted the films violent scenes are excessive but in understanding the reason for that one understands that people embrace these acts in what they read,what they watch and so forth in the news,america is a country that reigns in violence and murder,this film details with two killers who you cant help but love,but are the characters played by robert downey junior(the journalist) or tommy lee jones(the warden) any better,thats what you need to decide. br /The content of the film is one of a couple,mickey and mallory,who go on a killing spree across america and how their fanbase grows as the media gives them iconic status,certainly even i as a viewer warm to them,sense of irony im sure. br /This is a film that is more of a satire and is twisted in more ways than one and with 3000 edits involved(most films have 700) it is clear that there is alot going here,you shouldnt miss this. Worth watching again November 26, 2003 8 out of 9 found this review helpful The first time I saw this, my impression was of a garbled mess. Subsequent viewings uncovered the skill with which this film was made.brThis is not a film to have on in the background - it deserves your sole attention. Much was made on its release of the violence in it - this is the whole point. Stone, in his usual sledgehammer, blinkered way, gets his message across very strongly. Harrelson, who up until then had played amiable idiots, is a remarkably believable psycopath. Juliette Lewis is adequate (sorry, she just naturally winds me up) and the supporting cast put in energetic performances.brHowever, it is the technical wizardry and multiple media that make this a great film. To paraphrase Stone, it's an art film with a Hollywood budget. Showing reviews 1-5 of 13 1 2 3 Next »
