Product: The Two Jakes [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 5.0
one of the great sequals
Crazy as it may sound I like this film better than Chinatown and i adore Chinatown. One thing to understand about "The Two Jakes" is that it is like a fine wine. It grows better and better with age in that with each viewing the atmosphere (wonderfully created by Nicholson and his DP),plot, performances (Keitel, Nicholson and Stowe stand out to me) and scope of the film increase in terms of the viewers perception. The first time i watched it i was fairly unimpressed, now it is possibly my favorite film of all time. And to me great movies are like that, they provide something fresh to the viewer every time you watch them. This is the most underrated movie of the 90's and proof of Jack Nicholson's prowess as film director.
