Critics Consensus

Natural Born Killers explodes off the screen with style, but its satire is too blunt to offer any fresh insight into celebrity or crime -- pummeling the audience with depravity until the effect becomes deadening.

Nigel Andrews

Financial Times

Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers is a passionately mad, frequently bad, passably interesting, probably unmissable movie.

Geoff Brown

Times (UK)

In Stone's last virtuoso display piece, JFK, the technical fireworks served a firm dramatic purpose. Here they get horribly out of hand. The flimsy, derivative storyline becomes almost obliterated.

Alexander Walker

London Evening Standard

Stone's talent works well on the eye, seldom on the brain. There's no coherent argument to follow in his film; nothing lasts long lest viewers' attention span parts company with the excitement under the strain of having to follow a thesis.

John Powers

Vogue

A big, dazzling, monstrously violent comedy that is probably the most extreme movie ever made in Hollywood. Psychedelic and assaultive, it's like a fever dream snatched from the skull of Charles Manson.

Philip French

Observer (UK)

The intent is manifestly satirical, though the result is lumbering and mirthless.

It's Stone's sordid but well-executed action pic message film about how an ill-informed society glorifies repulsive violent figures and makes them heroes.

Rated: B

Overacted, overedited, over the top in a bad way.... Very (annoyingly) loud and oversaturated. If this is a "Story by Quentin Tarantino", I can't help to think what should've been in his hands with a good screenplay and with a good actor-directing like he does.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

This is a good film. It definitely has Tarantino's style all over it. Woody Harrelson, Robert D Jr, Tommy Lee Jones and Tom Sizemore give great performances. It's a wild ride from start to finish.

My favorite Oliver Stone flick. The editing and speed/chaos of the movie takes you on a ride that leaves you feeling a little disturbed that you are are so drawn to the spectacle. Thus making it's point.
