Kalifornia (1993)
7/10
A hard hitting and disturbing thriller with a nicely done climax
29 May 2009
when i saw the trailer of this movie i was really interested in watching it . It seemed perfect . The plot sounded amazing, seemed like a promising psychological thriller and it had Brad Pitt in it. But the only thing that works for this film is Pitt . He is simply terrific playing a cold blooded serial killer who lives in a world of his own and has little concern about other people. His creepy look is superb. A writer(Brian) investigating the lives of serial killer for his new book with his girlfriend(Carrie) ends up with serial killer Early Grace(Brad Pitt) and Early's girlfriend Adele(Juliette Lewis) who is a retard. They are on a road trip to California , a place where all dreams come true , through the places where Americas infamous murders took place by century's most prominent serial killers. The film begins on a very promising note with a nice narration but somehow loses it during course of the movie. It strives to capture the mindset of a killer but sadly isn't very successful there too.It has a lot of nudity and some very disturbing scenes . It gets quite boring at parts where you start wondering what went wrong. But to compensate for all this it as a beautifully done climax. Watch it for Brad Pitt and his mind blowing performance.
