A comment from a movie fan who wrote in to IMDb.com

“After years of reading bad reviews about Mulholland Falls, I recently turned on this DVD with low expectations and was totally surprised by how much fun this great little popcorn ovie was; right down to the soundtrack . Great cast, great look and about as much logic and charm as the old 50′s detective magazines. After seeing Nick Nolte in this, I’m now hoping to see him in a future Tarrantino movie. Nolte would also be a perfect fit in one of the upcoming Sin City sequels. I also have new respect for Roger Ebert, one of the few critics who enjoyed the movie for what it was meant to be. It seems to me that those who didn’t like this movie, missed its point. While this isn’t Academy Award material, it’s a hell of a lot better than the critics would make you believe it was.”
