Natural Born Killers review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 07/28/11
The film is about the vehement killing spree and love of Mickey (Woody Harrelson) and Mallory (Juliette Lewis). The reporter Wayne Gale (Robert Downey Jr.) makes their story into a media event, which in turn creates fans for the volatile couple. The soundtrack used and character build-up for the flick was good and the dialogue somewhat had depth. The only qualms I had were MTV/documentary style of filming was a bit confusing. Despite of some parts of the film was a bit dragging, the cast did a solid job. The movie implies the symbolism of violence, media exploitation and effects criminals that can’t be apprehended. If only the execution of the story was smoother, but I guess Stone had a technique which he felt suited for the film.
