      Two unusual handsome guys merge into an unusual killer road movie

      Nothing is pictured, but the picture can’t think of how this buddy with different styles can get together to play a film.

      Let’s talk about Duchoni. When it comes to him, there is no other image. It’s just X FILE, then it’s just FOX. MODER, it’s too popular. From high school to university, I watched at least eight seasons. Other than that, there is probably only one. What is evolution? The plot is old-fashioned and cannot be old-fashioned. The unchanging politeness and...

      The score is too low

      1. The highlight of this film is not in the script but in the performance.
      2. The highlight of the performance of this film might have been destroyed by Pete's star face, but he is indeed an out-and-out director-type actor. Muddy eyes, dirty breath. Quite naturally in place.
      3. The biggest highlight of this film is undoubtedly the performance of Juliette Lewis. I don’t know how many people, like me, watched this work before they watched a born murderer. My first feeling was: otherwise...

      The whole story becomes a metaphor

      The story is bloody, but the conception, setting and photography are all excellent.
      In the last part, in the room in the abandoned area of ​​nuclear weapons experiments, there are messy piles of naked dummy, which can make people do whatever they want without having to feel guilty. Only then did I understand why we designed such a weird hairstyle for the heroine-the real person and the real person. For the dummy, the only difference is whether it can inspire a sense of responsible guilt....

      Comment on "California Killer"


          Wenqing stupid couple women despise civilian stupid couple men to pull their feet while eating - while civilian stupid women see Wenqing stupid women taking nude photos of their own children, but they say that civilian stupid men do not allow themselves to be so out of character - Two pairs of stupid lovers! Repulsive, incompatible, and squeezed together to find common ground—the consistent style of Anglo-American—find a fucking balance—this so-called balance is a reasonable deception...

      6/10. In the standard 90s style of talking police and gangster films, the fledgling Dominic Senna seems to want to make this serial killer theme as non-mainstream as possible, with dark yellow tones and an old style, especially at the beginning of the whole picture to create a dirty, The cold and broken effect is a pity that it is dragging and boring. I personally think that the director has to learn from Quentin in terms of narrative, rhythm, lines, violent scenes and other...

    Movie quotes

    • Early Grayce: [after killing fat guy exits bathroom and runs right into Brian] Whoa.

      Brian Kessler: Wow, you were in there for awhile.

      Early Grayce: Yeah. I took a dump.

      [realizing that Brian is going to go in]

      Early Grayce: I don't think you wanna go in there though. It's wall to wall stink.

      Brian Kessler: I just need to wash my hands.

      Early Grayce: Ain't got no sink.

      Brian Kessler: [stunned] No sink?

      Early Grayce: Yeah. It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen.

      [Brian wipes his hands off on the wall of the gas station. The two return to the car]

      Gas Station Attendant: $28.35

      Carrie Laughlin: [pointing at Early] Talk to him.

      Early Grayce: How much?

      Gas Station Attendant: $28.35

      Early Grayce: Hope I got that.

      [peels off bills from the fat guy's money clip, Carrie seems to be well aware of this]

      Early Grayce: Call it an even $30.

      [puts bills into gas station attendant's pocket]

      Gas Station Attendant: [grateful] Thank you.

      Early Grayce: How about I drive, bud?

      Brian Kessler: Sure.

      [gives keys to Early]

      Early Grayce: Mama. You get in the back.

      [Adelle climbs into the backseat. The gas station attendant is so grateful at the tip Early gave him, he opens the car door for Carrie allowing her to get in and then shuts it]

      Early Grayce: [Brian starts the car up and they exit out of the parking lot. The gas station attendant watches them go. A sort of spiraling sound effect plays in the background]

    • [a short while after Early killed the gas station clerk, the four are on the road again in silence]

      Adele Corners: Do you want your picture taken?

      [no one responds]

      Adele Corners: Come on.

      [snaps one off and then sits back trying to get something going. She then whispers into Early's ear]

      Early Grayce: He was breathing when I walked out of there.

      Adele Corners: See, Carrie it's okay. He didn't kill him.

      [Carrie doesn't respond back]

      Early Grayce: Ain't we getting close to the next murder site?

      Brian Kessler: Forget about it! It doesn't matter anymore!

      Early Grayce: The hell it don't!

      [reaches up front and takes map]

      Early Grayce: Where's that map?

      Early Grayce: [scene shifts out of the car as we see it drive by as Early adds] Someday, me and Adele, will be walking along and see your book in a bookshop window. We gonna buy it and put it right on our coffee table. Ain't that right mama?

    • Early Grayce: Look mama, there's a purdy little house. Maybe they got some beer.

      [scene shifts to large garden with lots of various giant cactus plants as we hear Adele admiring/describing the cactus plants and a sort of jiggling sound effect. The camera pans to the Lincoln]

      Adele Corners: Look at all the cactuses. They sure are beautiful. You know what makes a cactus so strong? You can forget about them forever and they'd just keep on growing.

      [scene now shifts to Brian who has his hands cuffed inside the steering wheel. He's trying to get free, while Adele keeps rambling on about the cactus plants]

      Brian Kessler: Adele listen, we got to do something before Early kills someone else.

      Adele Corners: And they breed.

      Brian Kessler: [voice raising] Adele.

      [Adele finally stops rambling and looks over]

      Brian Kessler: Would you listen to me?

      Adele Corners: [hopeless voice crying] You can't do anything Brian. Just sit still.
