This is the classic Los Angeles/private detective movie which other films can only hope to get near in quality.

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2000)

Chinatown has a top notch story with magnificent acting by all the characters. Scenery of 1930's Los Angeles was fascinating, especially the cars. Also, like all masterpieces, the theme music was unforgetably superb. My only criticism is that the plot is rather complex, but believable.
