Overrated but classy.
This Roman Polanski effort is a true classic movie; Chinatown is an excellent, stylish, fascinating and gripping thriller that is based on the novel by Robert Towne.
Cleverly, the film has been made in a very 1940's style - the acting, the score, even the credits. Suffice to say, the plot is a lot more complex than anyt... read more

Puolivahingossa se saikin sitten edustaa vähän jämähtänyttä viiden tähden projektia ja lopputuloskin sen suhteen on hyvin samankaltainen, kuin kaikilla muillakin noir-henkisillä elokuvilla, mitä olen saanut aikaiseksi katsottua tuon tiimoilta.

The Best of Jack Nicholson (15 movies items)" J.J. Gittes "Have you ever heard the expression "Let sleeping dogs lie"? Sometimes you're better off not knowing.""
“No scratch that. Chinatown is actually my personal favourite of Roman Polanski's movies. It is a wonderful movie, as well as an affectionate and inspired homage to film noir, with a lot to love about it.
Roman Polanski's direction is superb. He always directs with such precision in this movie and it shows loud and clear.
The production values are terrific. Chinatown does look ravishing, the costumes, detail, scenery and cinematography are all exemplary.
I am a big Jerry Goldsmith fan, since seeing The Wind and the Lion and hearing his amazing score for that. His music score up here is up there with his best, it doesn't feel hackneyed or generic in any way, it really shows a master at work.
The script is brilliantly organised. In fact along with Casab” read more
