Wonderland is about some heinous murders that took place in July 1981 in Hollywood (Laurel Canyon, to be precise). The porn star John Holmes was implicated in these murders, but never convicted. The acting in this film was great, but the editing and pacing were a little off. There is a part where Val Kilmer is speaking, but they edit his speech three or four times. I don't like that technique of film-making, it brings attention to the editing (see "Traffic" and "Erin Brockovich" for more examples of this technique). We are told the same story from two different viewpoints, but the story isn't told chronologically, which kind of added to the confusion. All in all, not a bad way to pass an evening.
