Review of Kalifornia (1993) by Danny S — 21 Sep 2007
Directed with a cool remove Kalifornia falls somewhere between Badlands and Natural Born Killers.
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.
