A great film by Roman Polanski

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2007)

Although being over thirty years old I have finally watched Chinatown and enjoyed it.
To truly explain this film in detail my spoil many of the twist and turns which in my opinion has hardly been matched since. But I can say that the movie is based in the thirties and starts of by Jake Gittes played brilliantly by Jack Nicholson being hired to investigate an affair by a disgrunted wife which slowly turns into much more.
There are faults in this movie like the slapping scene which came right out of a comedy and the film does tend to drag in a few scenes but with this sort of film making the majority of scenes are a joy.
All in all a great timeless classic
