Mulholland Falls

If you like your noir cakes smothered in style sauce, come hungry for this one. Nick Nolte leads an all-star cast in this 1950s-era crooked cop drama, where testosterone and lighting vie for your attention equally. The plot's thick with military conspiracies and sex tapes, but you may just find yourself more captivated by a billowing puff of cigarette smoke or a wisp of hair falling just so across Jennifer Connelly's face.
