August 22, 2008Brilliant performance from Val Kilmer. His best work next to "the Doors."

March 1, 2008Very gritty and very well done. I wasn't familiar at all with the story, so I found it all the more gripping.
I love how the movie starts off, fast paced, choppy, showing passage of time with newspapers and TV Guides was fun to watch.
Val Kilmer is amazing. All the acting...( read more) -
February 15, 2008The Wonderland Murders--I might have heard the phrase before, but that's the most I heard, I can't say I knew much of or about them otherwise until I saw this film.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Wonderland skips lightly along the sewers of human depravity as if the trip alone was worth the telling. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The high quality of most of the acting makes this otherwise pointless and indulgent movie at least watchable. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
... character gets sacrificed for just another true-crime drama. full review
