Exceptionally brilliantly made movie

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2006)

For those who're watching this movie for the first time, let me tell you i've watched this movie 17 times and still find it interesting enough to watch it 17 times more. The speciality of this movie is, it has 17 plot points (twists) and every plot point comes at a distance of about 2.5 min on an average.
Secondly the start of the film with those pictures coming one after the other is a breakthrough in itself. No other movie has started like this before Chinatown.
I'm an ardent fan of Roman Polanski because of his extraordinary prowess of direction till date. He does a great job with camera as well as his own cameo in the movie.
Jack Nicholson had a real fight during the movie with Polanski,and in the process broke his nose hence Pulaski included the broken nose scene accompanying his cameo.Great screen writing, great direction, Great acting by all the actors and a great film noir. just watch it.
