I love all the cameos. Rob Lowe, William Peterson, Treat Williams, Bruce Dern, Titus Welliver, etc. Did anyone notice at the funeral at the end that Nolte puts his hat on the coffin, yet somehow has another hat as he leaves the grave, while his squad members do not?
Both were correct in their own way: the production was fairly sloppy and was only salvaged due to the fine efforts of the various cast members via several fine performances. In some ways, it remainds me of Tombstone, in that I didn't think much of the story, yet still found it eminently watchable. Go figure...
For me the highlight of this movie was seeing Jennifer Connelly with a couple extra pounds in the right places, and looking her absolute best. You can compare her to Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Racquel Welsh and many others but never has a woman appeared on film that was hotter than Jennifer was in this movie. Too bad she did not have much screen time. One should note that they may have given the plot twist away in the midst of this review with some of their comments.
@@brocklanders6969 Yeah that is splitting hairs. She looked incredible in the Rocketeer. No woman has ever looked better than her on screen in that movie either and unlike "Mulholland Falls" in the "Rocketeer", Jennifer was on screen, a lot. So I can understand your view.
Man, Siskel really fell on his face here! M Falls has aged like fine wine--every scene has golden moments, fine dialogue, and the music! Off the scale! Each actor plays a role of his career. I like M Falls and Chinatown equally well--they are both excellent.
I always thought Mulholland Falls was underrated. Nick Nolte was a strong alpha lead as usual, the supporting cast was superb, and the plot twist were pretty good. I didn't know what was coming, and the method of Connelly's death I didn't expect. It's a great flick.
Mulholland Falls isn't particularly good on the whole; it definitely has strong aspects, such as the performances and the soundtrack. Whatever its fault (pacing, lack of originality), I like it a great deal, due in no small measure to my affinity for 1930s-1950s America and particularly LA during the Golden Age of Hollywood.
A movie made just before woke Hollywood. I watched this movie with my Dad, and he was born in 1938... that would put him at 15 years old for the movie's time frame. Beautiful cinamatography and real glimpse into the mindset of men. Stoicism.
Nick Nolte was way too old to play this role and the dumb dialogue between the partners when talking about the psychiatrist and what-not, so dumb and empty. I agree with Siskel that all the props seemed like cheap window dressing for a very thin plot. And yes, Jennifer Connolly was hot af.

R.I.P Siskel and Ebert.
Not quite as good than Chinatown and L.A Confidential.
Man Jennifer Connelly in this movie!🥰😍🤩👌😘👉❤ 🔥🔥🔥🔥mamá mía!

Greatest scene--beating up the FBI guys by himself--dominance!
I would argue that Jennifer looked even better in The Rocketeer, but we are splitting hairs.

I agree but think she would have been great with a long full frontal scene and a few skimpy outfits here and there. She’s was at her sexy peak there

Mulholland Falls was a very tough comeback to those hard boiled classic movies. Is exciting and really entertaining, with an all-star cast

One of the greatest!
It’s SO second rate, but if you like it, that’s cool.
Saw this for the first time on Tubi, great movie, def worth the watch.
I have to side with Siskel on this one. I usually love films like this, but this movie felt very thin and predictable. ☹️
Well, Ebert didn't think much of Miller's Crossing, so this simply confirms that Siskel and Ebert were both dullards.
Which explains why they both took the dirt nap prematurely.

You don't seem very masculine. Do you struggle with little man syndrome?
Ah, windows.
Ebert was right

Teriffic movie even after all the years.
Third rate Chinatown jake.
