Brad Pitt (Early Grayce), Juliette Lewis (Adele Corners),
David Duchovny (Brian Kessler), Michelle Forbes (Carrie Laughlin)
A
couple driving across America to document and photograph sites of famous murders pick up a hitch-hiking couple, unaware that the male of the couple is a serial killer.
A
dark twist on a road movie, intended to boost the career prospects of David Duchovny following the popularity of The X-Files, but it only really served Brad Pitt's career, truly menacing as a
psychotic murderous drifter.
Entertaining for its duration but it's a forgotten film of the
1990's, fading away following the emergence of better variations on the same theme.
6/10
