Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 1999)

Roman Polanski created a perfect movie with Chinatown. The movie is tour-de-force with top notch performances. The screenplay by Robert Towne is nothing short of excellent. The movie works so well on so many levels (Noir, detective story, love story, character study) and is full of twists and turns. Utterly enjoyable! This movie is sheer classic. It totally deserves to be in the AFI top 20 of the 100 greatest.
