Stone makes a bundle off blood and guts
8 May 2001
In this charming film, two lovers, played by Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis engage in brutal graphic violence as serial killers who become media darlings as they go on their spree. Robert Downey Jr plays the ratings first morals later reporter who mickey and mallory take in a way under thier wing. Downey later finds out that the wing has claws.

The movie, which Stone called a social commentary on tabloid journalism, is nothing more than exploitation hipocritically called art. While decrying violence and the slick journalism it glorifies them. The violence is graphic, extreme and edited with the quick cut MTV style.

This film has been praised by some as a modern day A Clockwork Orange. If you believe that, watch this and then watch the Kubrick film. Big difference. Either you love this film or you hate it. Guess which was my opinion.. 3 of 10
