Truly, one of the most entertaining films ever!

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2002)

Made as an old Film-noir. Everybody said that this film was great but the story was all to complicated but I thought it was very EASY to understand. It's about a detective that is so masterful played by Jack Nicholson that comes in to a world of crime and murders. The famous scene were Roman Polanski does a very terrifying thing with a knife is superb. It's also very funny to see John Huston in such a great role(one of the best directors ever)
You follows the detective and this gangster/film-noir is truly one of the most entertaining films ever. Technical it's perfect, the lightening, cinematography and the settings. The end is one of the darkest ever and I do not use to like dark endings but this time I had another feeling. It was frightening but also masterful and the film is still today very powerful.

The 1970's was a great film period in America and this is one of the better films I have seen during that period. One of the most entertaining films ever!.
10/10
