�NATURAL BORN KILLERS,� Woody Sunchaser Harrelson and Juliette Strange Days Lewis infamously causing carnage across the US Midwest as bullet lovers returning-to-randomness vengeance on anyone who gets in their way. Purposefully adopting tacky elements and animated segments, the driving scenes are obviously shot in front of a moving screen in true, flashy pop-vid style, the glorified levels of violence seeping from the story written by Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino, loitering atop the biz�s fame-&-fortune wave after his massive �Reservoir Dogs� breakthrough before the �Pulp Fiction� & �Jackie Brown� follow-ups, ain�t that bothered about intricately weaving a clever tale that twist-revolves, instead concentrating on quality dialogue and the graphic shows of depraved killings, with Lewis initially killing both her parents after falling for Harrelson. Marrying themselves on a bridge in a middle of nowhere, driving self-harmed blood strands into the other�s clasp, that then drop into the river below (ridiculing the blood�s thicker than water belief, when these 2 rampaging psychos are as thick as each other), the urgent gloss of the movie�s in-yer-face style reminds of the updated Leo Di Caprio-hued �Romeo and Juliet,� guns, sex and anthems of the age pounding. Oliver Stone as director had previously pleased with the Vietnam war trilogy in �Platoon,� �Born On The Fourth of July� & �Heaven And Earth,� and this is some departure, even if Stone always has been unfraid to realistically portray violence (see Platoon�s US soldiers smashing the brains out of the Vietnamese with guns�). Flying-on-the-wall once the 2 killers are tried and brought to justice, the movie�s too long to be happily contented by relying on flashy visuals: the omni-present story of young love on the run, shooting up every one/ thing� who/ that� doesn�t/ can�t understand has no morally rooted heart or conscience. For all the audience is meant to not care, Harrelson and Lewis should burn in hell for their characters� murdering-starkers lack of compassion. (STEVE RUDD)
