One of the true classics.

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2002)

When I was going to see Chinatown for the first time my expectations very on the top. But I never realized that it was as great as it were.
You can clearly see how good Roman Polanski is as a director when you see this film, I mean everything from the music, the angles, the felin' you get when you're watching this film is so good. And the film doesn't contains any weakness at all.
Then you have the acting. Well Jack Nicholson does a wonderful job in the role as the mysterious, funny, rude detective Gittes. He's just as good as he's in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and "The Shining" And all the supporting actors, well lets just say: "They Shine".
The script must be the best script ever I think. but then again it's not another writer behind it. No it's the fantastic Robert Towne. And in the ending you'll find out a horrible secret.
