Polanski's Noir

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2015)

A neo noir classic set in the 1940s, Jack Nicholson delivers a great performance as a detective that is out to solve a murder that could possibly be a suicide. Just like other Polanski films the scenes are a tad long and go into great depth however i believe that this only add more tension to the film leaving the audience begging for more. The film is very minimal as far as sex or violence goes, this i feel is refreshing and cannot be said for many contemporary titles currently being turned out. This film portrays a 1940's LA like no other with a killer jazz soundtrack to back it up.
All in all the film deliver a great story, acted out by an all star case with a very cool washed out 40's vibe to accompany it all.
