Incest and Murder

Rating: 6/10 (9 December 2014)

Chinatown was a great film directed by Roman Polanski starring one of my all time favorite actors, Jack Nicholson. Nicholson playing a private investigator, Jake Gittes gets hired by a woman, claiming to be Evelyn Mulwray to take surveillance on her husband. Pictures are taken of the husband and another woman and published in the newspaper. A woman claiming to be the real Evelyn Mulwray states she is going to sue him for printing those photos.
It's like a scandal gone back of a reservoir that is a scene of a murder. Mrs Mulwray's father being one of her husband's past business partners thickens the plot. Gittes (Nicholson) is attacked by angry landowners that think he is a member of the water department.
Gittes figuring out the plot of murder involves incest and municipal corruption tries to help Mrs. Mulwray, (Evelyn) escape to freedom while being threatened of legal action of his own if he doesn't drop the case. He refuses and uncovering a scandal of a vast conspiracy of a downward spiral dysfunctional family.
Ida Sessions the woman that lied about being Mrs. Mulwray is murdered. Gittes is driven to her apartment by an anonymous call. Evelyn, the real Mrs Mulwray is suspected of the murder. It comes out that Mrs Mulwrays daughter is actually her sister, twisted story. Gittes now understanding the twist of events of this family and how the father was abusive, he comes up with a plan to help them escape to Mexico. Mrs Mulwray is killed and her daughter/sister is lead away and Gittes is released.
