An interesting sequel

2 years, 4 months ago at Jan 18 5:53
I really love Chinatown and even though this sequel was not as good, it is still an interesting movie. Jack Nicholson is obviously not as good as Roman Polanski as a director but he was competent enough and his perfomance as an actor was rather impressive. Definitely worth a look.

Grotesque weirdness... (61 movies items)

"A completely useless sequel for Chinatown where Jack Nicholson does nothing except plays golf with Harvey Keitel and literally explodes. Yeah, he gets his nose cut in Chinatown and suffers from that almost the whole film and in this overlong and idiotic film he explodes - and suffers a lot less from that."

"Ihan kohtuullisen hyvä dekkari, muttei kuitenkaan tuo mitään uutta lajityypiinsä. Kulkee varsin tuttuja latuja. Tosin elokuva on ihan viihdyttävä ja näyttelijätyöskentely toimii hyvin."

"From.... (Chinatown 1974) To... (The Two Jakes 1990) Gap between movies : 16 years Was it worth the wait ? : Yes. Even if the sequel was not as good as the original it was still pretty nice to see Mr Gittes again. Source: "I can't wait for the sequel!!!" Actually..."
