Natural Born Killers [Unrated] [Director's Cut] [2 Discs]

Director: Oliver Stone Oliver Stone

Overview

This blood-filled action drama represents Oliver Stone's entry into the venerated tradition of Bonny and Clyde. The film is divided into two parts; stylistically the film resembles an acid trip with a myriad of color, black and white images, and off kilter camera work. The first half chronicles the cross-country killing spree of the young couple who shot and killed 52 people. The second half is perhaps more horrific than the first as the two become cultural heroes. Mickey and Mallory are deeply in love. They show their love by killing; they really enjoy it. During the spree they gain national notoriety after they appear on a tabloid TV show: "American Maniacs," hosted by Wayne Gale. They are finally captured after they kill a kindly Native American who provided hospitality for them. They are imprisoned and Wayne Gale, shooting for his highest ratings ever, interviews them from prison on Super Bowl Sunday. Simultaneously, the prison warden has decided to end the lives of the famous duo and hires a hitman to do it quietly. During the interview, Mickey senses something is amiss and he starts an enormous riot. Amidst the ensuing chaos, Mickey and Mallory escape.

Editorial Reviews

Natural Born Killers is a vicious, gory, disgusted kick in the pants to America, as Oliver Stone seemingly throws the culture's sickness back in its face, screaming "You like this kind of stuff? Here!" In a country which made Bonnie and Clyde heroes and slobbered over bloody gloves and horrifying 911 calls for over a year, how do you make this kind of satire crazy enough? Stone tries to do so by taking every facet of the crime/glamor obsession to its extremes. Mallory (Juliette Lewis) and her psycho sweetheart Mickey (Woody Harrelson) commit over 50 murders and become big stars, with Stone tracing every step of the mad journey to celebrity in a multitude of styles including color, black-and-white, hand-held Super 8, and even cartoons. At one point, he presents Mallory's obligatory "unhappy childhood" as a demented sitcom, with sexually abusive dad Rodney Dangerfield spouting abuse to big laughs from a delighted audience. It's all just fodder for the media machine and the bloodthirsty public, as Robert Downey, Jr. illustrates as a camera-obsessed reporter whose quest for fame has blinded him to the perversion of what he is doing.
