Brian Kessler, a journalist researching serial killers, and his photographer girlfriend Carrie set out on a cross-country tour of the sites of the killings. Sharing the ride and their expenses are Early Grayce, a paroled white trash criminal, and his girlfriend Adele. As the trip progresses, Early begins to appear more and more unstable, and Brian and Carrie begin to fear that they may have a real-life serial killer in the back seat of their car.
A great role for a young Brad Pitt to continue to jump start his career. He was the only retrieveable feature from the film. Seeing him as a poor, white trash, psychopathic killer is quite the change from the OCEAN'S trilogy. However, the script is ultimately flawed due to its inability to affect me on any personal level. Really the only character I had any sympathy for was Juliette Lewis' because she was so stupid and naive. However, when Pitt was killing people, it didn't matter to me and Pitt wasn't a very likeable villain either so I was screwed on both ends of the deal.
