Rueben instill Natural Born Killers sentiment with a heaping helping of Blair Witch Project style. Judy (Rachael Bella) is a high school outcast who just can't seem to shake her bullies. Jimmy (Edward Furlong) is a recently de-institutionalized suburbanite with a serious video camera obsession. Though Judy is at first unimpressed by Jimmy's reckless rebel attitude, her option soon shifts when the unstable newcomer captures himself on camera delivering a little vigilante justice to her unrelenting tormentors. Tragedy soon strikes, however, when the increasingly unpredictable Jimmy accidentally kills a cop, and the frightened pair are send fleeing into a remote commune presided over with Manson-like fervor by the malevolent Uncle Rodney (William Sadler). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
We can't help but wonder why we should care, save the fact that the first-person gimmick makes us feel complicit in the crimes.
-
Dennis Harvey, Variety
For all their surface bluster, debuting co-writers/directors Jon Schroder and Randall K. Rubin are trading in reflexive sulky adolescent philosophy.
-
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
This is the film that Natural Born Killers wanted to be -- and at one-twentieth the cost.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...a marginally entertaining first-person drama that benefits substantially from the two leads' compelling work.
-
Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
Probably one of the worst movies of the last two years...
