|  |  | | Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 08/25/2009 Rating: Nr | | | | 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 | |

| This Review Is About The Blu-Ray NOT The Movie! | |
| | I should of followed what one of the people said on here before because I would of never had to return this Blu-Ray. Basically this Blu-Ray has the worst transfer I have ever seen, the picture hops up and down throughout the entire film! I contacted Warner Brothers about this issue and of course I never got back a response. Save yourself money and do not buy this edition of Natural Born Killers!
| | | Fast delivery ( 4 days ) I was very happy & would use them again in the future .
| | | I just totally love this movie...As a photographer I am thrilled with this movie for all the different medias used, aspects of cinemaphotgraphy and overall production. It's a classic in my opinion, a bit violent, but a movie with the title, Natural Born Killers it should be. It has a great storyline and I love how they really expose the media for what it really does - famous for making something out of nothing. The first time I saw this movie was in the theatre and I came out just awe struck. Now it is on Blue Ray and I can see it over and over in High Def and everytime I watch it, I see or learn, some new little detail that adds to the plot and storyline. If you like action packed movies with big name actors (Woody Harelson, Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Downey Jr. and more), and you like to see films that are a quite artistic and a little different, then this is a must for your Blue Ray collection. Also, using Nine Inch Nails as the main musical artist for this film is perfect - Treant Raznor is a genius. Definately a Oliver Stone masterpiece!
| | | Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis star in this Oliver Stone film about a couple who go on a killing spree, get caught, and start a riot in jail. I thought it was a decent movie. It is totally 90s.
