Mulholland Falls

DIRECTED BY: Lee Tamahori

REVIEWED: 05-02-96

The trailer for this one looks pretty good, but the movie is another story. For some unknown reason, an all-star cast including Nick Nolte, Melanie Griffith and Chazz Palminteri has been matched up with an insufferable and completely banal script. Nolte plays a cop hunting L.A. bad guys in this China Town-style story; he and all the other characters repeat themselves constantly, so don't worry about the plot getting too intricate. As if the predictable plot weren't enough, the character development in this movie barely dips above comic book level. Stay home and eat a chocolate bunny.
