A frenetic, bloody look at mass murder and the mass media, director Oliver Stone's extremely controversial film divided critics and audiences with its mixture of over-the-top violence and bitter cultural satire. At the center of the film, written by Stone and Quentin Tarantino, among others, are Mickey (Woody Harrelson) and Mallory (Juliette Lewis), a young couple united by their desire for each other and their common love of violence. Together, they embark on a record-breaking, exceptionally gory killing spree that captivates the sensation-hungry tabloid media.

Critics Consensus: Natural Born Killers explodes off the screen with style, but its satire is too blunt to offer any fresh insight into celebrity or crime -- pummeling the audience with depravity until the effect becomes deadening.

Depending on your sensibilities, this controversial 1994 crime drama was either Oliver Stone's magnum opus, or the moment he crossed a line. Either way, it was certainly designed to be provocative.

Richard Propes

A visionary film because it sees the truth of our society and where we are headed.

More than 25 years after it was released, this poor excuse of a movie remains pretty annoying. [Full review in Spanish].

The movie is enlightening, not because it transmits new information, but in the way that movies enlighten, through a synergy of images and rhythms that makes us sense the world in a new way.

They are anti-heroes of the tallest order, yet some of the most riveting and dementedly sympathetic characters ever created
