Kalifornia is disturbing, and, while it doesn't overdo the blood, neither is the violence understated. The basic premise should be enough to keep the meek away -- if you have no desire to see a film that follows a serial killer, stay away from Kalifornia. However, those with more macabre tastes will find that this picture packs a little more punch than the traditional Hollywood slasher flick. Of the four principal actors, Brad Pitt gives the least impressive performance, probably because of the nature of his character. Early is all rage and self-righteousness, and there are times when he slips into a caricature mode. Juliette Lewis is a little better, but great range isn't required for Adele, either. She's pretty much a simpleminded young woman who refuses to believe the awful truth about her boyfriend.
