Product: The Two Jakes [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 4.0
No Comparison to Chinatown
I am afraid I must disagree with the other reviewers. This movie did not compare well with Chinatown. I purchased both movies and watched Chinatown first, then The 2 Jakes. The 2 Jakes has a very convoluted story-line, a non-realistic ending. Could have been a good movie if Chinatown was never made, but comparing the two movies makes The 2 Jakes look bad. Unfortunatley, the DVD also lacks quality, it is just a good copy of the VHS version, there are no features such as interviews, making of the movie etc. etc. The chapters are way too long (about 15-20 minutes a piece), so not very easy to rewind if you miss a small part. However, I would recommend people to own both movies, and watch them to compare and make your own decision.
