It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
While I like Oliver Stone theme of the movie "society's view of murderers" I can barely even tell you what the movies about or have any words for it. Woody harelson is such a great actor but that's basically all this movie has. I was so thankful when this movie ended. Would not recommend or watch. And yes I registered my email just to write this lol
This movie try to be exciting bur it isn't. It is boring and just "free violence" without any sense or logic. The criticism of media is just empty. Nothing is profound or have any reason to happen. Is just waste time. I don't know how this movie wins any award because to me is one of the most trash and bizarre that I ever seen.
I was very impressed with Natural Born Killers, the film is praised, there are a lot of people who like the movie, but I found it very weak, I went with good expectations, which were not matched, the cast is the strong point of the movie, Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Robert Downey Jr, Tommy Lee Jones and so on, are good, Harrelson's chemistry with Juliette Lewis is good, the movie script is cool, but I found it badly, the direction of Oliver Stone that made it one of the Best war movie of all time is Platoon, is weak, which is a shame, because he is a good director, photography is cool, I did not like the way the film is filmed, I found the movie bad style, Natural Born Killers is not bad, more disappointed me a lot. Note 5.7
I've nothing against experimental movie-making. But here technique overwhelms everything else, leaving us with cinematic chaos and maybe a headache. All the rapid- fire jump cuts, color changes, and camera angles add up to an anti-movie mess. It looks like somebody's self-indulgence run wild. To me technique should enhance story, not overwhelm it. Or, in some cases, it might get us to see a familiar theme in a new way. But since there's no real story here, just a sequence of chaotic events, there's ironically no real conflict, just a two-hour waste of film and viewer attention. To be fair, I guess there is a message, something about the media creating a faux reality that sucks people into its seductive realm. That's certainly a worthy, if not novel, theme, especially in our fraught day and age. But unfortunately this movie mess overwhelms the idea without either enhancing it or seeing it in a new way. Too bad.(In passing—Most folks think of Mallory and Mickey as modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Nevertheless, B&C's main purpose was robbing banks, not killing people, a-la M&M. To me, the apt comparison is with the less well-known, teenagers Charlie Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate. After killing her parents and a baby, their murder spree spread across Nebraska and Wyoming in 1958, and appears motivated by little more than a perverted joy of killing, a-la M&M!)
