In which film do serial killers Micky and Mallory slay their way across the country?
In the vivid 1994 film, "Natural Born Killers", serial killers Micky and Mallory slay their way across various parts of the USA. This is director Oliver Stone's stark satire about the media and murder controversies. Mickey and Mallory Knox (Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, respectively) hit the road on an interstate killing spree that triggers a great police manhunt. Their actions garner amazing ratings for a tabloid TV star (Robert Downey Jr.). Film critics point to the shocking, bloody, and relentlessly violent and claim that Stone's visually frenetic film makes a chilling statement about the American cultural landscape.
Film reviews say that "Natural Born Killers" is a love-it-or-hate-it type of movie. It has the ability to completely disgust people. It does it in such a way however that some say they enjoy seeing the entire picture. It's not just about murder... the whole production has been called a metaphor for our world, according to the director and the stars of the film. The media, popular public opinion, ethics, and morality are discussed. The focus is upon a country full of "sheepish" humans. Everything's ridiculed and analyzed and is up for grabs in "Natural Born Killers". This film has been called a highly-intelligent yet completely psychotic off-color movie; it's not for the faint of heart.
