One of the greatest, if not, the greatest noir movie ever...

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2009)

OK everyone, this film is definitely in my top 5 favorite movies ever made, and for many reasons. To begin with, the storyline of this film is absolutely genius (although very complex as well). Which is why writer Robert Towne deservedly won an Oscar for it. The director Roman Polanski did a magnificent job on this film, which is why he got nominated for an Oscar. Jack Nicholson is perfect as the private eye, JJ Gittes, this is definitely one of his greatest roles in his whole career, he also got nominated for an Oscar. Faye Dunaway did an incredible job as well as the mysterious, Evelyn Mulwray, she also got nominated for an Oscar. And finally, the hauntingly beautiful music by Jerry Goldsmith, which is my favorite composer ever, and, he also got nominated for an Oscar. The only reason I did not give this film a ten was because of the length of the film, and it is very difficult to give a movie a ten, but other then that, this film is perfect.
