 4/5 |
Electrifying, except when it's stupid. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/4 |
Profane, hallucinogenic, and wickedly satirical, Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers mainlined a message from hell (a.k.a. modern America, as seen by Stone) into mall theatres and multiplexes. [Blu-Ray] Full Review |

 6/10 |
Stone has guts, I'll grant him that; but he needn't have spilled so much of it in our laps. Full Review |

|
1/10 |
An incoherent, experimental acid trip so unbearably pretentious that it gave me newfound respect for the Warren Commission. A real torture test.
|

|
4/5 |
One of the most dazzling, audacious and timely films, a feverish nightmare of American culture at its worst, which might explain the heated controversy and legal battles caused directly by Stone's picture. Full Review |

4/4 |
Sick, twisted, and brilliant. Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |
As a satirist, [Stone's] an elephant ballerina. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
America's obsession with tabloid television and with the psychopaths whose lives the shows sensationalize is the ostensible target of Oliver Stone's latest bombastic and self-righteous exploration of evil in America. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Flashy, loathsome, and utterly empty.
|
||
|
2/5 |
[Stone's] idea of subtlety is to put a velvet Crown Royale sack over a hammer before he smacks you in the face with it repeatedly. Full Review |

Oliver Stone does an amazing job behind the camera, and the editing is totally delirious: it's one of the most visually dazzling films I've ever seen. Full Review |

Made in the style of an MTV video...Natural Born Killers is exactly the kind of bullying, mindless assault that Stone excoriates the media for perpetrating. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
This is one of my all time favorite movies, and it put Oliver Stone on my list of 'Best Directors Ever,' right along with Stanley [Kubrick]. Full Review |

81/100 |
Stone can’t make a point subtly –- and yes, even a brutal, hallucinogenic movie like this one would benefit from some subtlety. Full Review |

|
4/5 |
The film's delightful to watch, mainly because it appears to be the largest budgeted student film ever made. Full Review |
