Modern day cinema takes little to no risk these days, in favor of being politically correct. Natural Born Killers is a full-fledged, in your face anthem about the glorification of violence in American history.
Plot- Mickey and Mallorie leave their life behind after murdering their parents and embark upon an aimless rampage, gathering extreme media attention. It's about the very raw nature of serial killers, and how the media virtually feeds off of tradgedy for a story. It's a wild ride.
Characters/Acting- The main characters are obviously awful human beings, but they have enough humanity to observe and admire, much like watching a gangster flick. All of the acting is outstanding for how frantic and sometimes grimly comical this movie can be.
Writing- The writing is solid, but I would have liked to feel more of Tarantino's spice, for the final script ommitted most of his content aside story.
Quality- This film was shot in 18 different formats. I'd say it's so perfectly edited, animated, and shot for the tone, that I'd recommend psychopathic people don't watch it. It truly gives you the frantic feeling of madness, while also being in a psychadellic trip.
Overall I can see why this film caused an uproar and how it triggers some violent people out there, but for someone who loves cinema and seeing something unabashedly bold, this movie is worthwhile. Just don't watch it on drugs or alcohol, you'll spin out.
