"The best and worst of Oliver Stone are on ample display in Natural Born Killers, a hyperactive, blood-spattered, semi-satirical visual onslaught that examines the American obsession with violence and the warped media values that turn killers into celebrities, murder into infotainment... From shot to shot, the style changes: from black and white to color, slow-mo to normal speed, 16 mm to 35, while the background music leaps from rock to opera. Disorienting us, Stone wants us to note how the medium alters the message — he wants to force us to watch ourselves watching a movie. But he also — make no mistake — wants to stage a really bitchin' display of ultraviolence." - David Ansen, Newsweek
