Review of Mulholland Falls (1996) by Laurie E — 04 Jun 2007
A year before there was L.A. Confidential (1997) there was Mulholland Falls (1996). Obviously it wasn't as big of a hit, in fact most people have never even heard of it, but its still a pretty good movie in it's own right.
It's got a lot of the same elements such as beautiful women, government conspiracy and tough cops breaking the law in order to maintain it. It's even got a big ensemble cast that includes Nick Nolte (two time academy award nominee for The Prince of Tides 1991 and Affliction 1997), Melanie Griffith (academy award nominee for Working Girl 1988), Chazz Palminteri (academy award nominee for Bullets Over Broadway 1994), Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs 1992), Chris Penn (Rumble Fish 1983), Treat Williams (Hair 1979), Jennifer Connelly (academy award winner for A Beautiful Mind 2001), Andrew McCarthy (star of the television series ?Kingdom Hospital? 2004) and last but not least John Malkovich (two time academy award nominee for Places in the Heart 1984 and In the Line of Fire 1993).
If you're a big fan of mobster movies and such try renting this one; it just might surprise you.
