IN THE MEDIA CIRCUS OF LIFE, THEY WERE THE MAIN ATTRACTION.

Mickey and Mallory (Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis) are not just married to each other and deeply in love, they’re also serial killers; now, their crime spree is drawing attention from a ruthless tabloid journalist (Robert Downey, Jr.).

A lot of sound and fury from Oliver Stone who turned Quentin Tarantino’s original story into an annoying version of Bonnie and Clyde (1967). It’s a comment on the American infatuation with violence and the irresponsible media fueling it that quickly becomes obvious, empty and drawn-out.
