Pretty Much A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2003)

When I first saw Chinatown I was a little hesitant to call it a Masterpiece, but in fact it is one. It has Great Directing by Roman Polanski, Brilliant Acting, and a very well written Original Screenplay. Just A Masterpiece.
Jack Nicholson is brilliant as J.J. Gittes, a very serious private Investigator. Faye Dunaway is very good as Evelyn Mulwray, the woman Gittes is on a case for. Dunaway as one scene in the end where shes truly great. John Huston gives a pretty good performance too.
The movie is very well written there isnt a thing wrong in its screenplay. It has a hard ass ending that completely fits and could never be changed, like Robert Towne wanted it to(writer of the movie), or it wouldnt feel right or look right. It would have been a copout. 10 out of 10.
