Description
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
