Mulholland Falls (1996)
Country: US
Technical: col 107m
Director: Lee Tamahori
Cast: Nick Nolte, Melanie Griffith, Chazz Palminteri, Jennifer Connelly
Synopsis:
Four plainclothes cops with carte blanche to stamp out underworld crime in 50s L.A., become involved, through the death of a girl known to one of them, in an atomic research cover-up by the military.
Review:
The mixture of private vice and public cloak and dagger results in overlength and a lack of focus, and the impunity of the film's 'wild bunch' is stretched a little far, but the fittings are evocative (if clean-looking) and the period atmosphere well caught by the cinematographer. The title, explained at the beginning, is irrelevant to the rest of the film.
