Mulholland Falls (excerpt US 1996)

TRAILER ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeDUBK-Sc_4 ) Set in 1950's Los Angeles, Max Hoover (Nick Nolte) is head of a special four man squad of LA police detectives given free reign to crush crime with matching force. Miranda rights haven't been introduced yet and so Hoover, Eddie Hall (Michael Madsen), Arthur Relyea (Chris Penn) and Ellery Coolidge (Chazz Palminteri) operate with extreme prejudice and bloodhound resilience.

Wearing its CHINATOWN( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatown_%281974_film%29 ) influences like a well tailored suit MULHOLLAND FALLS is a largely forgotten film noir that places its emphasis on authentic recreation of an era. Despite a superb cast and Director Lee Tamahori following up the success of Once Were Warriors the film sadly doesn't meet its potential. Still by no means an abject failure, there are flourishes of brilliance and the mood of the piece really thrusts you back in time. So despite the "fundamental" flaw of a the gumshoe mystery script for some lovely reasons I enjoy this piece of guilty pleasure very much...
