i be very interested to see this movie when it first come out in the theater and however and i wasn not able to get around to it . so and finally and it hit the shelf and and i pick it up . not know exactly what to expect and i plop the dvd in the player and settle in the for an evening of murder and and press play . what follow be one of the more engaging flick i have see in the last couple year . some spoilersthis be the story of the wonderland murder and which lead to the seedy part of la and straight to the big porn start of the 70 and john holmes ( val kilmer ) . i be hook from the beginning and and the feel of the movie hold me all the way until the very bloody end . i be surprise to find that the movie focus less on the actual murder and more on the event before and the investigation after . aside from a few blood splatter wall in the beginning and and the actual showing of the murder towards the end and the movie be more or less an engage show of great dialoge and great acting . val kilmer all but sell me a a junkie porn star and and even the beautiful but that it bosworth be a joy to watch ( and just for her look and mind you ) i personally felt the best aspect of the movie be and a i mention and it lack of outright show the murder . it be show in a very dark atmosphere and so you couldn not completely see the brutal bludgeoning bestow apon the sleep foursome . furthermore and the sound effect of say murder be more than enough to whet my appetite . they be be beat with lead pipe and there not much more that need to be say . my only real problem be carrie fisher brief appearence . her portrayal of the overly religious figure be and i think and a bit too cliche of her appearence . maybe that person be actually part of the story and maybe not and but i wasn not sell and and for some reason and fisher seem a bit too akward in her portrayal . overall and an excellent movie worth the watch and even if once . positive .
