Wonderland is usually advertised as a movie about one of the most famous porn stars ever. But the truth is that the fact that John Holmes was a porn star is not relevant at all for the events portrayed in the movie.
Wonderland deals with the post-porn era in Holmes' life, a time in which he got involved in the Woderland Murders. Val Kilmer does what he does best playing this detached, lost character in the descending phase of his career and life. This kind of character comes naturally to Val Kilmer, and no one plays it better than him. His credibility and talent makes the whole movie worth watching.
The script may be a bit feeble, especially in what concerns the supporting characters, but, on the whole, Wonderland is a good movie to understand the philosophy of an entire era.
