Chinatown stars Jack Nicholson,Faye Dunaway,and John Huston. Nicholson plays Jake Gittes a private investigator hired by rich socialite to investigate a simple cases of adultery. Instead,it turns into a tangle of deceit,corruption,and treachery. Chinatown is one of the few movies that movie critics call a classic that truly is. Jack Nicholson gives one of his best performance. This movie shows why Jack Nicolson is worthy of his oscars. The movie is among the best private eye/film noir movies ever made. Roman Polanski directed the film. He is among best directors in hollywood. This movie is by far his best film with Rosemary's Baby being a close second. I wish they made movies like this nowadays. Don't miss this classic.
This movie was recommended by Syd Field in his landmark book, "Foundations of Screenwriting." (Robert Towne's amazing writing earned him an Academy Award for best screenplay). Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the of the indomitable detective Jake Gittes is terrific. John Huston is great as the menacing villain. Faye Dunaway is remarkable as the mysterious love interest. This "film noir" who-done-it keeps you guessing and surprised throughout.Loved the cameo by director Roman Polanski as the wicked little henchman. The only minus? The somber ending, although it certainly fits the genre. This classic jewel belongs in every film buff's collection.
one of the best movies I've ever seen. highly recommend it!
