The secret dies with the victim

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2007)

The story of a secret love affair which turns out to be a woman's bitter journey through life is well presented in the movie. Jack Nicholson (J.J Gittes) is hired twice as a private investigator to reveal the mystery of a murder which normally could be considered as a matter of money but it isn't; it's all because of secret adultery between a father and his daughter which remains a secret till the last minutes of the picture.
The last ten minutes of the story leaves clears the whole story about the lie behind the secret girlfriend and also water and energy used as an excuse to masquerade a murder.
It's a nice one if you happen to watch a mystery. The nice idea of the dumb police killing the woman who was paying too much price for her and her father's actions is just nice not just because it's true and it happens a lot, but also because of the idea that it's just Chinatown and Jake ought to forget the love affair he just had with the woman.
It wasn't the best but it's definitely worth to watch.
