Plot:
Too much surface. Director Lee (The Edge) Tomahori's noir story serves as a McGuffin to its ripe style. Amid secret agendas and unspeakable acts onscreen you stare at the fall of light across o...( read more

Better than I expected, but still just another LAPD 50's movie. Don't know why there are so many of this genera, and don't know why I seem to have seen them all. Still, this one is by far the best. The cast is great, and hearing John Malkovich talk about atomic energy is fun-tacular. Plus Jennifer Connelly is smokin' and gets dumped out of an airplane (which makes her have floppy arms like gumby).
This was a Very good looking film that suffers because the plot is too similar to Chinatown's the characters and plot aren't particularly interesting.
First movie I've watched all in closed caption. Don't know if that affects my rating or not. It was pretty good. Had you wondering what happened to the beautiful girl and what was the military trying to hide.
I liked when Nick Nolte spit all over the guy before throwing him out of the plane.
Not much can be said for Melanie Griffiths acting but when is that new.
Chazz Palminteri kept a smile on his face throughout the whole movie.
I'd say give it a chance, but try to watch it with the sound on!
some regular actors in like nick nolte and michael madsen, chaz and chris penn you expect this is gonna be alright, and it was but that's all. it's so so. jennifer connely looked fit as fuck in it. the running jokes were stale after hearing about them the 2nd time. it wasn't bad and nick nolte is starting to become an actor whom if i see his name in the credits of a movie i might watch it
Jennifer Connelly is smokin' beautiful here... and she's the only memorable attribute this film has to offer. Like Palmetto, Mulholland Falls is one of the most lame, most boring, most uninspired neonoir flicks to ever grace the big screen. It lacks the punch of LA Confidential, it lacks the coolness of Brick, it lacks action, emotion, intensity. It's a dull movie. But it has Jennifer Connelly, but she's wasted and underused. Tsk tsk...
I'll put this film in a simple and kind way. Lee Tamahori is no Curtis Hanson or Roman Polanski and this film is no L.A Confidential or Chinatown
An amazing movie. PLUS, you get to see Jennifer Connelly naked. Very difficult to improve upon that formula.
Nice cast, looks good, but the story goes a little off the rails. In the end, I'm not sure I cared.
Interesting look at law, military, and national security. Jennifer Connelly isn't bad in it, either.
An attempt to revisit hard-boiled noir detective movies that pre-dated LA Confidential by a year, but this is all style and no substance. All the elements are there, but it just feels like a half-hearted pastiche of ideas pilfered from other sources, and the ensemble cast of pseudo-untouchables are largely unused and frankly come across as a bunch of unsympathetic thugs. There's little character development and no depth to the plot but having said that, I didn't hate it, mainly because of the presence of Nick Nolte and Jennifer Connelly. But there are much better examples of the genre out there.
Not to be confused with the confusing Mullholland Drive, this poorly-done crime drama tries to be edgy, but falls really flat.
An excellent film noire mystery set in Los Angeles shortly after WW II which involves the murder of a beautiful actress (Jennifer Connelly) and a mysterious roll of film. Well worth watching.
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.
Great cast, atrocious movie. This is the infamous film where I watched the 2nd half of the movie in my boxers (no joke).
Just oozes class. From Nick Nolte's brooding characterisation to probably the sexiest female (Jenifer Connelly) in cinema I've seen since Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra, this film had everything a detective thriller buff could want.
its an ok movie. but then it goes crazy and does all these politics movie!!! one time this guy tries to blackmail nick nolte. its got good acting but the plot is toooo full.
looks like it should be something special but ends up being somewhere left of the middle of the road.
Sure the film looks good and the cast is impressive and next to perfect for a film like this but somehow, it never lives up to the promise.
The plot is a bit loose and never really produces any surprises or touching moments or Mcbeth type situations and that is the main fault with the film. Nothing really gets you involved and hence, nothing gets you to really care about the story and the outcome.
