It's so very easy to understand how someone (like myself) could totally hate Natural Born Killers to the max. I mean, just for sickening starters, there wasn't one, single, solitary character in this entire film who was even remotely likable. As an offering to the masses, Natural Born Killers was director Oliver Stone's perversely twisted satire on America's insatiable infatuation with crime and brutality. With a bludgeon firmly in hand, Stone delivered his derisive points on the subject of media-mania early on in the film. The rest of the picture was just a madman's fury, all hollow, reverberated echo, over and over and over. Even the hyper-kinetic, psychedelically inspired, 60s film-making style of Natural Born Killers became boring and repetitious far too quickly. Prior to its initial release back in 1994, a whopping total of 150 cuts to the final product were ordered before Natural Born Killers could receive an "R" rating.
