Natural Born Killers was interesting to look at, but ultimately missed the mark on it's own intellectual thesis. Of course, better that than being boring aestethically, intellectually and primally, which sometimes "essay" movies can be.
I hated this fucking movie. Childish, erratic, annoying...everything that I find irritating about Oliver Stone is epitomized here in this overpraised disaster.
Of course, Rob, he may have been watching Guy Maddin's Archangel on a loop while planning this movie. That would eventually overwhelm someone as unhinged as Stone. Also, somehow, doing it may have purged the violence/bloodlust from his system. And how does 1/2 love, 1/2 hate (Rotten Tomatoes Score = 50%) equal overpraise?
