Kalifornia

After finishing a magazine assignment on serial killers, journalist Brian Kessler (David Duchovny) is so fascinated that he decides to co-author a book on homicidal maniacs with his exhibitionist-photographer girlfriend Carrie Laughlin (Michelle Forbes). En route to California, where the bored yuppies plan to build a new life in a land more receptive to Carrie's art, they pick up an unusual couple, Early Grayce (Brad Pitt) and Adele Corners (Juliette Lewis). Conveniently, Grayce happens to be a serial killer and serves, along the way, as Brian's in-house specimen. Soon Brian learns that having a real-life murderer in his car is a lot different--and more dangerous--than his long-distance obsession with killers led him to imagine.

    The X Files star David Duchovny plays a writer researching serial killers for a book who gets rather too close to his subject in this so-so psycho teen road movie. A slow start builds to an explosive climax after Duchovny and his photographer girlfriend (Michelle Forbes) unwittingly pick up two likely suspects as they travel from Kentucky to California. Brad Pitt does his mentally unbalanced act rather well, and Juliette Lewis is also good value as his trailer-trash, childlike sweetheart. Sadly, director Dominic Sena fails to develop an interesting scenario into anything other than empty attitude and annoying posturing. It's True Romance without Quentin Tarantino's laughs or quirkiness, and Natural Born Killers without Oliver Stone's subversive genius.

    It is not what I expected. It is a very basic film. But Brad Pitt's performance was good.

    So So

    Did not really think much of this film. Suppose it was a novel story but there was no real thought provoking or captivating story to get into. Bit disapointing, never thought I would have said that about Mr Pitt!
