some film manage to survive almost on originality alone wonderland be certainly one of those film . the script manage to throw everything into a near fever pitch and but without make it incoherent . the speed of this thriller be not to choose to cover up a weak script and but rather to accurately reflect the drug addle reality . a director and james cox a a very peculiar way of work his actor . most of the character be perpetually on edge and and often because theyre rather quite ugly personality . val kilmer have describe john holmes to be a hustler and able to manipulate and control . no offense to kilmer and but his version of holmes seem only able to control the drastically weak mind . nonetheless and it a stunning performance . compare this to kilmer more hollywood role like in the saint it seem to prove he be far more at home in gritty indie flick . the actor be the main force hold all together . there be various little performance that stand out especially the woman . carrie fisher and kate bosworth and and lisa kudrow all have limit screen time next to their male counterpart and but they be all fantastic . aside from kilmer and ted levine and dylan mcdermott give a weird and stun energy to their role . i originally put off watch wonderland because i assume it be a film about a porn actor and in the strict sense . yes and the story revolve around john holmes and but it have literally nothing to do with his professional career . basically and this film be a murder mystery and and a such it excellent . rating represent 7 . 5 out of 10 .
