Title: Utter Garbage
Product review: The only film that I've seen where I wanted to walk out of the theater. Is Oliver Stone insane? Yes, I understand that this was a critical fave and that Stone is a "pioneer" in showing emotion through imagery, but this was too extreme. I literally had a headache after this film (Stone employs all the different film aspects: 35 mm, 8 mm, B/W, animation). I wasn't impressed by the "media's sensationalism of crime" message that was subliminally put forth. Subliminal nothing. You're knocked over the head with it!Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis play a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde. Their crime sprees and murders are documented by Robert Downey Jr who plays a tabloid television reporter. While the crimes these two commit are heinous, Stone paints them as likable characters (at least that's what he wants the audience to feel).Word of advice: Instead of returning this movie to the video drop at your local Blockbuster, throw it in the trash where it belongs.
