An all round terrific film

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2014)

Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunnaway spark off each other in this truly terrific film and the rest of the cast just make the story sublime. The scenery only adds to the ambiance. The use of classic American cars and 1930s styles and fashions also add to the beauty.
I first saw this film in cinema club at school, the previous week we'd had Straw Dogs and the following was Akira Kurosawa's Dodes'ka-Den, we were truly overwhelmed with great cinema.
Roman Polanski's direction and Robert Towne's screenplay go together like eggs and ham or pizza and wine. I would recommend this beauty of neo-noire film making to absolutely anyone. I'd love to give this film 15 out of 10.
