A Tremendous Film That Is Easily One of the Best Ever Produced

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 2000)

"Chinatown" is an excellent film that has become a true American classic since it was initially released in 1974. Jack Nicholson (Oscar-nominated) stars as a private investigator who unwittingly becomes entangled in a strange case that is so complex and deep that his involvement could be fatal. Robert Towne's Oscar-winning screenplay is multi-layered and smart, as is Roman Polanski's amazing direction. A great achievement in the cinema that stands very tall against other films from the 1970s and from any decade for that matter. 5 stars out of 5.
