Juliette steals the show.

I have had so many different reactions to his film over the years. I hated it back when I saw it when i was 25 years old and I didn't care for it as the years went by, then, just over a year ago, I rediscovered a masterpiece . . .Oliver Stone is an outstanding filmmaker, because he takes risks and has a firm vision, doing things HIS way for all theses year, WITHIN the cynical studio system. From the beginning of his career, he's had the heat follow him, being unfairly tagged and bludgeoned, creating controversy at every turn. And "NBK" is no exception. In fact, I believe it's one of the most controversial films ever made, because it still has such a major effect on society today. It's being blamed for murder after murder, which completely confirms the film's message, that society is media...

WE made them this way.

This is the most Tarantino non Tarantino film ever. Although, he did write the screenplay. Quick cuts, animation, 18 different types of film, wierd angles, it's all here. It's a fascinating look at the media and America as a whole. And I don't like what I see. Two kids, who obviously need help, and don't get it go on a killing spree. When they are finally finished with killing, the media makes them out to be some kind of hero for generation x. When people talk about this film, the onlything they notice is the violence, they don't see the story underneath. Watch it again, or see it for the first time with a more open mind.

Intense and twisted

Sick, sadistic, twisted, disturbing, and absolutely evil... and thats only a couple of the reasons why I love it. This movie is by far one of the most obscurely violent films that you can ever see. Micky and Mallory Knox are played by Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis. They are the epitome of what America news and film has bred, and while this movie is a disturbing look at through the eyes of a couple of serial killers, it was also a kick in the teeth to American news media. Harrelson's portrayal of Micky Knox was compared to the idea that he could have been portraying his real life father who was a professional hitman, and was serving 2 life sentences at the time the film was made.
Robert Downey Jr. portrays an news journalist that makes his living on the suffering of others. When Mic...
