Good Movie. I feel it is overrated.

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2008)

Let's just say that I have heard so much about this film, so I bought the DVD and finally got to see it. The plot revolves around a private detective who is approached by a woman to investigate her husband, because she thinks that he is cheating. As the movie goes on, the plot gets very intricate and involves murder, lies, money and so on.
I thought that the acting was great. I am a huge Jack Nicholson fan and he is good as PI Jake Gittes. I felt that this movie was slow and boring at times. I guess the reason it is so well received is for it's time period, the story is pretty advanced and it is well written. I just don't think this movie even compares to films like the Godfather. Overall, this is a good movie, I think that I was just expecting more. I was not glued to the screen like I am with great films. That is why I feel its overrated.
