Amazon.co.uk Review

Directed with a cool remove by Dominic Sena, Kalifornia falls somewhere between Badlands and Natural Born Killers. David Duchovny is a blocked author with a fascination for outlaw killers who hatches a plan to road trip through America's mass-murder landmarks to finish his book. He enlists the help of his frustrated photographer girlfriend Michelle Forbes, who desperately wants to leave the East Coast for LA, and they advertise for riding partners. Luckily for them, they wind up with a veteran killer, the greasy trailer-park ex-con Brad Pitt, who decides to skip parole with his cowering child-woman girlfriend Juliette Lewis. Duchovny is enamoured by gun-toting Pitt's recklessness and lawless disregard for, well, everything--simultaneously terrified and thrilled by Pitt's brutal beating of a barfly. Meanwhile, Pitt's leaving a trail of corpses in their wake.

Pitt brings a ferocious magnetism to his part, but it's still hard to buy genial Duchovny's odd attraction; Juliette Lewis conveys a terrifying sense of victimization with her poor dumb creature. Despite the film's best efforts, it never really plumbs the psyche of Pitt's simmering psycho--he's just plain bad, you know--but it does fashion an effective little thriller out of the tensions brewing in the restless quartet. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

Format:DVD
kalifornia is a 1993 thriller that is pretty good but starts to drag at the end as the tension starts to feel forced and most certainly drawn out,had this film shaved off 15 mins or so then it could have been alot better.
The film deals with a couple who want to travel across the country and visit the locations of infamous murders,they cant afford to do it alone so they advertise for a carshare and in pops brat pitt and juliette lewis,unbeknown to all,pitt is himself a serial killer,oh the irony.

Format:DVD
This is a taut thriller which revolves around a road trip to California.

Duchovny and Forbes want to travel across the US to California stopping at famous murder sites along the way - they're planning a book; he's writing the words and she's taking the pictures. To help finance the trip they advertise for someone to share driving and split gas money - they get the more than slightly psychotic Pitt and his childlike girlfriend Lewis. As they make their way across the country trying to make sense of violent murders by visiting where they took place, they are unaware that they have their own serial killer in the back seat.

There are some genuinely tense moments. The central performances are very good - Pitt is almost unrecogniseable and although Duchovny's character looks and, for the most part, sounds exactly like Fox Mulder, his initial fascination and eventual disgust with violence is well played out.

This is a very violent film but if you like thrillers and don't mind a bit of gore and bad language then you should enjoy it as much as I did.

Brad Pitt plays an extremely believable trailor-trash red-neck serial killer, combined with the endearing qulities of his support Adele (Juliette Lewis) makes this film one of my faves.

I remember that watching this film sparked off my interest of Pitt as a credible actor. I have since watched all of his films, and I now consider him to be one of my fave male actors of modern cinema.

A good performance from all four lead roles, combined with good directing and nice cinematography make this a...

This is a very dark film in contrast to the bright sunshine of the cinematography. Everything is right about it. The Cinematography, the pace, the script, the casting, the scenery. Read more

I've just seen this film and sat on the edge of my seat throughout. Best of the lot though had to be Juliette Lewis. What a performance. See it.

A mad outstanding performance by Brad Pitt, class!
This film has it's own kind of humour in a way which I find.......funny. He looks like a scary hobo (Pitt) but, sod it, just watch it yourself!
