Tarantino's mistake was letting someone else direct his vision. This is not a criticism of Oliver Stone, but of how he interprets Tarantino's idea. Killers is a nonlinear mess, and comes off more like what its attempting to mock than theTarantino's mistake was letting someone else direct his vision.

Natural Born Killers is quite the conundrum. While you can appreciate the innovative visuals and excellent acting. You can find yourself criticizing the failed satire it relies on, and it's excellent visuals becoming a distraction, taking youNatural Born Killers is quite the conundrum. While you can appreciate the innovative visuals and excellent acting. You can find yourself criticizing the failed satire it relies on, and it's excellent visuals becoming a distraction, taking you out of the movie. That is a very big problem because, despite the obvious exaggerations, Natural Born Killer is supposed to feel real. The film was made to address a real problem but if it feels too unreal, the point of the film falls flat. This may be due too a director doing everything he thinks is a good idea, with no one telling him to cool it down. Another big problem is the hypocrisy in the movie, It tries to condemn our obsession with violence and murderers. While reveling in the violence and murderers it depicts on screen. I have no problem with violence and anti-heroes in movies, but if you condemn that while showing it, It defeats the point. There are good things in the movie, the great acting by Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, and Robert Downey Jr. all in Oscar-worthy performances. The great visuals, while not being too distracting, you can appreciate. Ambition can always be appreciated. But much like Stay (2005), it has ambition and good intentions, but its intellectual ambitions are out of its grasp.… Expand

Natural Born Killers is an amusing satirical piece from Oliver Stone. It is a bit one note and has a challenging narrative but contains a lot of laughs... And some uncomfortable moments.

A bizarre movie from Director Oliver Stone and story penned by Quentin Tarantino. The movie does contain some entertainment value. The film is hard to look away from, but easy to forget.

I was a little indecisive on Natural Born Killers. It is just so weird! But it is different! This is a movie that will either love or hate. I don't think there is a character in this movie that is not crazy. Woody Harrelson and Juliette LewisI was a little indecisive on Natural Born Killers. It is just so weird! But it is different! This is a movie that will either love or hate. I don't think there is a character in this movie that is not crazy. Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis were both really great as the movie's anti-heroes. I also have to give credit to Robert Downey Jr. for pulling off a great Australian accent for his character Wayne Gale. Olive Stone wanted to provide several themes with this movie and the only way to figure it out is the watch the movie yourself.… Expand

I like Oliver Stone, but this movie...after 5 minutes I thought, this is a typical Quentin Tarantino movie (a lot of violence) and look, he was one of the writers. But there are other things I didnt like in this movie: many scenes look soI like Oliver Stone, but this movie...after 5 minutes I thought, this is a typical Quentin Tarantino movie (a lot of violence) and look, he was one of the writers. But there are other things I didnt like in this movie: many scenes look so cheap, so old like from the 60s. And in addition many characters are caricature, so not realistic.
On the other side the actors did a great job, especially Woody Harrelson.… Expand

Quando o filme acaba fazendo aquilo te mai critica se torna aos poucos cada vez mais vazio e sem nexo. Pelo menos o estilo videoclipe diverte e encanta em um.primeiro momento. Mas depois só sobram boas atuações
