After Rewatching Natural Born Killers For The First Time In Years, I Have A New Appreciation For One Specific Performance

Film

Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers is one of the most extreme, bizarre, and unforgettable films of the past 30 years, for better or worse. One of the best ‘90s movies, this blood-soaked, genre-bending cult classic about a pair of psychotic lovebirds on a murderous rampage through the “lower 48” is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and I decided to go back and watch it for the first time in years.

While Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis’ Mickey and Mallory Knox are clearly the stars of this iconic 1994 movie, I came out of the experience with a great appreciation for one specific character: Robert Downey Jr.’s Wayne Gale. The memorable news reporter with an over-the-top Australian accent and a larger-than-life personality adds so much to the movie and creates a dynamic that makes everyone else look even better. Allow me to explain.

Though The Performance Is Over The Top, There’s Also A Certain Subtly That’s Brilliant
