Wonderland (2003) 7/10

Starring : Val Kilmer, Kate Bosworth, Josh Lucas, Ted Levine, Lisa Kudrow, Christina Applegate
Director : James Cox
Running Time : 104 mins

One time porn legend John Holmes (Kilmer) finds himself on the slippery slope to drug addiction following an otherwise successful career. He’s separated from his wife Sharon (Kudrow) and is clinging into a tumultuous relationship with his mistress Dawn (Bosworth), but when he becomes involved in a drugs heist he finds himself the key suspect in a brutal massacre which left four people dead.

This was an interesting movie, with most of the action told from the point of view of one of the gang involved in the robbery, which makes the testimony a little more suspicious. Kilmer plays the problem riddled Holmes extremely well, and Josh Lucas puts in a good turn, but Bosworth and Kudrow were a little weak as Holmes’ past and present lovers.
