Product Description
From Amazon.com
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

Looks outstanding on Blu-Ray, Dec 27 2010
By Hello "Perfect Circle" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Natural Born Killers:Director'S Cut [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I read some reviews that said the blu-ray transfer is not good but I disagree. The movie looks amazing on Blu-Ray. I had a dvd copy of this film and compared the two and it looks outstanding on blu-ray. The movie was filmed with all kinds of cameras so people might get confused by the look and say it does not look so great on blu-ray but thats not true. The film is a classic. If you have not seen this in a while def buy it, you will reconnect all over again. Also the audio is outstanding on blu-ray. 10 out of 10.

Great movie, Nov 12 2009
By Brandon Bliss "Movie watcher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Natural Born Killers:Director'S Cut [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
A very twisted look at how the media plays a role in violence in America. In my opinion this is a great film that depicts just that. Oliver Stone has made many great films and this is just one more

Classic, Aug 2 2010
By ultra55371 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Natural Born Killers:Director'S Cut [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
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!
