A wildly ambitious farce about two lovers who defy TV-manufactured perceptions by becoming notorious murderers, \u003ci\u003eKillers\u003c\/i\u003e pushes the limits of screen violence, visual literacy, and the mixed-media technique (juggling film stocks, incorporating video, etc.) that Stone introduced in \u003ci\u003eJFK\u003c\/i\u003e . If the result is somewhat cold and forced, it's also brazen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost significant is the way this collection underscores Stone's drive to fuse historical drama with lingering emotions about the past. Stone, a Vietnam War vet, revisits that haunting debacle here in the masterful \u003ci\u003eBorn on the Fourth of July\u003c\/i\u003e . Yet some of his most famous efforts still draw heaps of scorn for narrative hubris and factual recklessness. (Does anyone really believe John F. Kennedy was assassinated during a Lyndon Johnson \u003ci\u003ecoup\u003c\/i\u003e ?) But time, as this collection proves, is on Stone's side. Eventually, \u003ci\u003eJFK\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Doors\u003c\/i\u003e will be seen not as a failed objective history, but as the experience of a tumultuous era in the imagination of a man who lived through it all and can't shake it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The collection concludes with the unexpectedly entertaining football saga \u003ci\u003eAny Given Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e .
