NBK is an interesting piece about media hype and manipulation, and an avant-garde blockbuster to boot. It doesn't glorify the killers - it's about glorification of the killers. Is it a tad self-descriptive? Self-consciously, absolutely!
Similar in theme to So Fucking What, but way flashier.

There were rumours at the time that they'd killed a local girl in the filming and allsorts..

From what I can find, that's a rumour that Deodato effectively quashed in court. However there is genuine news footage (excised in most versions) of executions in an African revolution.Johnny Canuck2 said:Yep. They killed a local girl.![]()
Pigeon said:Can't remember what it's called, but it's written and directed by Steve Martin and it's all about a mature, silver-tongued and silver-haired lothario (played, coincidentally enough, by Steve Martin), who seduces a young naive girl who works in a shop, introducing her to a life of sensuous pleasure.

A Time To Kill and the Death Wish films - all films that tacitly condone vigilatism. I will reserve judgment on Nick Love's Outlaw cos I haven't seen it yet, but I expect it to be one of those films
