Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Lack of good storyline.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Natural born killers was a master piece created by Oliver Stone to showcase America's fascination with violence using surreal imagery that rips right into the mind of a serial killer.Mickey and Mallory Knox are on the lamb after a string of cross country murder sprees, home invasions and rape while the news turns them into a house hold name.During the days of pro-wresting being the number one entertainment in The world and Jerry Springer's high Nielsen ratings it was only matter of time before as film maker made a parody of our dark desires to see blood, guts and dead bodies galore and sexualize it. Even during the film we see news paper headlines referring to them as "Sex on the run" and an investigator itching to sleep with Mrs. Knox.The movie feels even more relevant today then back in 1993. I remember a few years ago Jodi Auras was in the news for killing her boyfriend and going into her sexual life to add the glamour of a sick twisted story.The use of commercials throughout make it seen that we come so entrenched and brainwashed by television that we're dead already. Those who break free to actually make a difference are the chosen ones. Such powerful messages for the MTV generation.Other messages are more stuble like corruption exists everywhere and where you may expect it could actually be a place of redemption.In some ways the situation is played for laughs like the sitcom detailing Mallory's past and the laugh track to ease tension.I even felt for some of the characters which only a brilliant director is capable of doing in a film like this.Its a heavy film. Some may see it as another violent film instead of seeking the real messages the script writers were trying to get across.

Oliver Stone's sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying but always compelling satire of the mass media's obsession with violence tells the story of a couple going on a cross country killing spree. Natural Born Killers is incredibly over the top, it's loud, it's nasty and it's in your face brutal. This is balanced with the humour in parts, but more importantly the characters are developed and the film even makes you care about the murderers. Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis and Robert Downey Jr. all give terrific performances, and the frenzied, psychedelic and mesmerizing direction is hugely effective. The best thing about NBK is that it doesn't act like most films of its type. Most films like this go down the route of being highly difficult to watch, but this is disturbing because of the highly intelligent way in which it manipulates viewers' emotions, and by the end I was left feeling very unsettled. Despite this, it's a highly enjoyable and enormously energetic movie much of the time, and it never ceases to be fascinating and provoke thought. 9/10

I rented the director's cut and I'm trying to figure out what's the difference between the cuts, apart from being four minutes longer. Anyway, since I have only seen this cut, so I'll just have to go with this one. I was mostly interested in this film because of the original script written by Tarantino. Apparently the original however was heavily edited by Veloz, Rutowski and Stone, so I don't know what parts of Tarantino are actually left. I'd really like to read the original script, but I don't know if that's even possible.My dad actually gave me a warning of this film. He said it was extremely heavy and distressing. It definitely is, and during some parts of the film it's done marvellously. The beginning of the film is a good example. The dialogue in that is pretty regular, it could be the beginning of any movie. The dialogue is something we could hear everyday, that's not what makes it distressing. That's done with the music. I've never liked Leonard Cohen's music, but it definitely spices up movies by making scenes extra creepy. I've had the soundtrack of this movie for a while, and most of the songs sounded extremely good, but when I saw the actual film I was slightly disappointed. Apart from few, like Leonard Cohen in the beginning, many of the tracks are easy to ignore, as they give nothing to the actual story. They just are playing in the background. If Tarantino had got to direct the movie his way, the soundtrack would've been so much better.Also the cinematography makes the film unnerving. Fast shots, camera is tilted, some shots are in black and white... Let alone all the small symbolic things in between what's actually happening. The writing could be almost anything, cinematography like that does everything else. I've seen the same kind of visual side in Slipstream (2007). That movie was complicated anyway, so the symbolic fast shots of something random suited the film. The plot of Natural Born Killers isn't complicated. All that symbolism gets lost when the film isn't watched by someone who actually knows about symbols. Everyday watchers won't have time to analyse what a snake here and there means. If Oliver Stone didn't mean this movie to be watched by someone who doesn't want to analyse every little detail as an important symbol, he's pretentious. The way this film was shot is good: tilted shots, fast shots, black and white shots, the colours... Those work. But like getting random shots of something isn't always that necessary. It's kind of like Stone wanted this film to be way more artistic than this plot could be. The story is artistic in the way how it can be analysed, but that's it. There's no need to make it an art film. I wanted to like this movie, but it's hard. While it had everything I usually like in films, it felt too pretentious and overtly complicated. I was expecting something so much simpler and therefore so much better. And that's the reason why I'd want to see what Tarantino originally had. He's an excellent writer, and I feel like his original story was made into something needlessly weird. When you think about it, Natural Born Killers is a good movie, if you judge it like critics do and all that. In technical sense it's excellent and all that, but it's annoying to watch. Natural Born Killers isn't something you can just throw into the DVD-player and watch it when you have nothing better to do, you have to really, really watch it, and that might ruin a film a little. If it's on TV, you can't just start in the middle if you missed the beginning and so on. While I appreciate what this film is, I can't say I actually like it.

Started watching this good old film as I have heard a lot about it from my friends in the police force. I am happy to say I enjoyed it. The violence is very realistic and thoroughly deserves an Oscar for murder. I also found that this film reminded of school shootings I have been to during my 20 years at the force although I have found that I can relate to the main Character Mickey as the way he struggles through the film is very similar to the way Mickey mouse struggles in Mickeys mouse club house as the quest is very similar. I found that scagnetti was very similar to me as I have also killed a prostitute and also a few random people as a side hobby to keep me entertained when the crime dries up. And finally I believe the political environment was not realistic for Skyrim at this time. SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS. finally this film has a hidden message that Bonnie and Clyde's death was an inside job.This review is done by Mickey Knox in 1200 BC
