Editorial Review:
The story of a husband and wife who are serial killers involved in a cross country killing spree that elevates them from fugitives into media celebrities.

Description of Natural Born Killers (R-Rated Cut) (Blu-ray Book) [Blu-ray]:
Oliver Stone would like to have the last word on America's media culture of voyeurism and violence, but whatever he's trying to say in this grisly, unconventional movie comes across terribly garbled. Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis play traveling serial killers who become television celebrities when a Geraldo-like personality (Robert Downey Jr.) turns their madness into the biggest story in the country. Stone extensively rewrote an original script by Quentin Tarantino, and he employs a mosaic of different film stocks, video, and pop pastiches to create a sense of blurred lines between visual phenomena. (The background on Lewis's character's life as an abused child, for instance, is presented as a sitcom starring Rodney Dangerfield.) But the result of these experiments is a pompous, even amateurish effort at grasping the reins of a real-life national debate. One almost wants to tell Stone to sit down and raise his hand next time if he thinks he has something to say. The controversial director would like Natural Born Killers to be nothing less than a monumental achievement, but it's one of the emptier entries in his filmography. --Tom Keogh

Natural Born Killers (R-Rated Cut) (Blu-ray Book) [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Stone Should Be Horse-Whipped For This Anti-Psychedelic Propaganda
2009-12-30 - Although I must admit that this movie is visually stunning, it is thematically depraved. With all of Stone's talent and resources, why on earth make such a glaring anti-psychedelic propaganda piece?

That wasn't his intent, you might say.

Maybe not. But it was the net result. There are qualified therapists dreaming of the day when it is once again legal for them to use psychedelic substances in psychotherapy. But it won't happen without some kind of Congressional hearing first. Trust me. But all an opponent of such legislation would have to do to scare Congresspersons to vote no, is to play this movie. It's *Manson* up close and personal, with all the unimaginable details splashed across the screen in vivid color.

By making this movie, Stone has hurt the cause of legalizing the therapeutic use of psychedelics. He made the perfect propaganda piece, unwittingly, perhaps. But that's no excuse.

Stone himself has said that this movie is a satiric critique of the media in general, which he says market violence and suffering for good ratings. That's a handy excuse, because it allows him to do exactly what other media moguls do---make a profit off of violence and suffering---but, at the same time, claim the high road, ethically. That's like a porn director claiming that he makes movies to draw attention to the exploitation of women in the porn industry. It's a cop-out, at least in the case of this movie.

BLU-RAY not perfect!
2009-12-03 - This comment is about the new Director's Cut on BLU-ray. This could have been the PERFECT release of Natural Born Killers. It is one of my favorite films. I returned this Blu-ray once thinking it was defective only to received another exactly the same. Someone messed up this transfer. If you look at the edged, there is a "shake" on the film from beginning to the end. It is not always as noticeable, but in some scenes it's distracting. The films "shakes" or moves up and down. It seems like that's the way it was transfered. I checked out my ancient DVD of the same Director's Cut and the movement is not there. Oh well. I guess if I was going to watch one version of this film this would be it because of the great sound and sharpness. If it didn't wiggle like it does, I would have been %100 happy. I guess I'll wait until they "restore" it again. :(

Disappointment
2009-11-21 - This movie was a real letdown. Not at all as described at Wikipedia. :-(

Only good point was when they decapitated Tommy Lee Jones' character. LOL

Not nearly violent enough.

Great movie
2009-11-12 - A very twisted look at how the media plays a role in violence in America. In my opinion this is a great film that depicts just that. Oliver Stone has made many great films and this is just one more

GOOD MOVIE TO HAVE
2009-11-04 - GREAT FILM!!!
SOMETHING YOU WILL ENJOY WATCHING OVER AND OVER
GOOD ACTING, POWERFUL STORY, JUST GREAT FILM!!!
