September 21, 2008Its was ok, not what i expected from Jack Nicholson, In this movie he play a Normal guy. I like when he is the crazy guy, which his not here.
-
September 14, 2008Excellent to it's last scene. The last scene however is one of the greatest scenes in fim history.
-
September 12, 2008This is such a cleaver movie,and it's a hard one to watch,you must pay attention,but its SO worth it. Nickolson and Dunaway are on top form,and it has an amazing script.
Classic Film noir. -
-
September 4, 2008Pretty good movie, some parts were slow and lost my interest, but other than that it was great.
-
September 2, 2008Polanski is a pervert but he makes great movies. The plot holds you right from the beginning til the very end.
-
August 30, 2008Chinatown is the best film noir ever made. There is no use in arguing with me on this one. Once you watch it, you will see that I am correct. Much like L.A. Confidential, it is loosely based on real life aspects of Los Angeles history. There really was a controversy...( read more)
-
August 19, 2008Intriguing and over-the-top as film noir can get, but Polanski takes the genre a tad further... might type s'more laters... :p

-
August 15, 2008One of the all time great movies. Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway are superb. John Huston is pure evil. Great score.
-
August 13, 2008Chinatown?s greatest mystery is what makes it so damn good. Well, that is only a mystery if you haven?t seen it. If you have seen it, you know what a hell of a film this is. Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway are two of the greatest actors in cinema history, and when you put them to...( read more)

August 12, 2008Fantastic crime drama. Turns every which way but loose. A Polanski-enthusiast must. Not to mention Jerry Goldsmith's fantastic score.
-
August 5, 2008A pretty good modern noir film, however it's just not amazing in my opinion. Definitely not as good as Polanski's Macbeth, however Jack Nicholson is great here, even if he is completely clueless.
-
July 29, 2008I just didn't care for it. Very forgettable and I would not watch it again.
-
July 23, 2008This, again, is a classic. I liked it, yes, but I thought it was a little slow. Jack Nicholson's plays Jake Gittes brilliantly though.
-
-
July 15, 2008The best of modern film noirs. Roman Polanski directs a superb mystery that is highlighted by Jerry Goldsmith's score and Vilmos Zsigmond's cinematography.
-
July 14, 2008a good mysterious detectives movie. the last scene where the woman dies and the last line; "forget it Jake. It's Chinatown" is one of the best of all time.
-
July 13, 2008Review will be written when/if re-watched (Probability: Low).
First viewing: 16.12.1999 -
July 12, 2008This is Jacks best work (Cuckoos nest follows).
Story was a little rough but the acting got me through. -
July 9, 2008One of the greatest films ever. It's also one of those films than is a must see on the big screen, as it loses quite a bit on the small screen.
-
July 3, 2008What can I say? This is one of the greatest noir films and THE greatest P.I. movie ever. Jack Nicholson is top notch as P.I. Jake Gittes. Faye Dunaway turns a wonderful performance and Roman Polanski's direction is superb.

June 26, 2008''What happened to your nose, Gittes? Somebody slammed a bedroom window on it?''
''Nope. Your wife got excited. She crossed her legs a little too quick. You understand what I mean, pal?''

June 18, 2008S obzirom na silne hvalospjeve o ovom filmu kojih sam se naslusao i nacitao tijekom godina, sad kad sam ga konacno pogledao malo sam razocaran. Dobra noir detektivska prica, ali 'samo' dobra :)
-
June 13, 2008A classicly modern film noir that totally pulled me in. Jack Nicholson can definitely pull off sneaky and suave. The movie was long but it felt reasonably lengthed and I was not at all disappointed by any of it. Great acting (due to the casting) great directing awesome cinemat...( read more)

May 18, 2008If you haven't seen this movie yet, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING ALIVE?!
My review of it will be a special one for my blog. ;D
But I can say, it's one of the greatest script ever written with a suberb directing. -
May 10, 2008Roman Polanski's Chinatown is has some of the most stunning cinematography. This noiresque thriller is one of the greatest movie ever made much due to its dark multi layered script, few flicks can better and one of the best lead performances of all time given by Jack Nicholson.
-
May 7, 2008All-around great acting and a great director at the helm make this almost as good as any of the classic private eye films of the 30's or 40's. The first of a proposed trilogy, though only two were ever made.
-
May 4, 2008This is a really good noir film but it suffers from having an ending that wasn't as good as the rest of the flick.
Jack is great as the PI and the story is interesting enough to keep you wondering but it all falls apart at the last ten minutes.
The music worked great and the loca...( read more) -
May 4, 2008this really is a sensational film. done in the noir style that brings back memories of the maltese falcon, the mystery was well plotted and the story well told. the twists were alot of fun and the acting was superb across the board. the only thing keeping me from giving this f...( read more)
