Juliette Lewis Kalifornia
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Kalifornia, besides being the name of a song by a variety of different artists, is the name of a 1993 mvoie starring Brad Pitt, Juliette Lewis, David Duchovney and Michelle Forbes.
Kalifornia tells the story of Brian Kessler (Duchovney) and his girlfriend Carrie Laughlin (Forbes) preparing to make a cross-country journey so that they may start a life in California. On the way, however, they come across Early Grace (Pitt), a former prisoner on parole who is looking to leave the state and head to California, and his naive girlfriend Adele Corners (Lewis). Grace agrees to share the expenses of the trip with Kessler.
It turns out, however, that Grace has no trouble killing people, and after a manhunt is discovered to be underway Grace takes the whole car captive and continues onward to California, now the party in charge. After a number of murders - including a harmless old man - however, Corners can’t stand Grace’s vicious streak and leaves him. Grace, infuriated and snubbed, kills his girlfriend and takes off with Laughlin, leaving Kessler for dead.
What follows is a chilling chase to stop Grace before he can claim any more lives, Laughlin’s included, and a climactic scene that leaves no doubt as to Grace’s eventual fate.
