Amazon.com essential video
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

 An Excellent Transaction! June 28, 2009
H. E. Lee (South Kakalaki)
This dvd was in better shape than the one I had stolen from my collection. Very clean, pristine condition, both the dvd and the case. Thank you!
 I just wonder... June 1, 2009

Screen lore tells us, and there's reason to believe its true, Quentin Tarantino sold the script for NBK to finance his brilliant Reservoir Dogs.
Makes me wonder what might have happened had Tarantino been able, somehow, to hold this one in reserve and make it himself.
He's more subtle than Oliver Stone, in the same sense that a single drop of rain is more subtle than a tsunami. He's more inventive, and cannier by far, and he understands these characters better.
Stone took what may have been a fine story, and turned it into an exhausting mess. I truly did not like it. I gave it two stars because of Harrelson and Dangerfield and Downey, worth the price of admission when the film was released, maybe worth a Netflix rental, but NOT going in my collection.
The most effed up movie since A Clockwork Orange May 24, 2009
Wild Card (United States)
This movie is crazy ridiculous. The violence is over the top. All acting performances are amazing and Robert Downey jr.'s performance stands out the cast similar to Tom Sizemore's small role that is played well. Rodney Dangerfield takes a bizarre turn as an abusive father. Oliver Stone did a good job, but I would have preferred QT's original draft that he originally had to sell to fund Reservoir Dogs. Oh well, at least this is still interesting.

Haven't seen this movie in a while. It's still a good movie, enjoyed it very much
watch this with the right mind please!!! April 21, 2009
abraxasworld (berwyn, il)
This movie was brilliant in so many ways. In satire it was unique and adventageous. In cinema it was risky and original. In acting it was over the top and on crack. Everything this movie offers is worth more than one viewing and multiple discussions on the importance and relevance of morality and common sense in pop culture.
