One of Pitt's most underrated performances comes through in the hyper-violent Kalifornia.

In the film, his character Early goes on a cross-country ride with a journalist and photographer who are visiting the sites of famous murders on their way to L.A. Unfortunately for them, Early proves to be murderous himself, making their trip as terrifying as their subject matter.

The late Roger Ebert praised Pitt's acting abilities, writing in his 1993 review that his performance is one, "of the most harrowing and convincing performances I've ever seen."
