My Review-
The Wonderland Murders, or the Four on the Floor the killing of four people of in drug-related crime, and who was the man that may have helped out in this, none other than Porn Legend John Holmes. Taking place before and after the murders in July of 1981, Wonderland tells different sides to what may have happened the night that murders took place and why. According to this movie after he was out of the Porn Industry, Holmes played by Val Kilmer, became addicted to Drugs and theft. This movie is told in four parts that all lead to the Wonderland Murders; told from the point of view of someone who wasn't there and John Holmes. The thing that lead to the murders was the robbery of man by the name of Eddie Nash, who was a gangster and a drug dealer. During the movie when hearing both sides you do not know who to believe since both sides sound very convincing. I was surprised when i saw some of the actors that were in the film, and thought they were good in the movie, except for a few people like Kudrow, Bostwoth, and a very small part with Paris Hilton, which i thought was very useless and did not need to be in the movie. Other than that I found my self trying to figure out who was telling the truth, since both stories are so convincing, and Val Kilmer in one of the best movies I have seen with him since the Salton Sea. For me I liked this movie because it caused you to think about who was telling the truth and who wasn't. The only way to find out is for you to watch the movie.
