Product: The Two Jakes [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 4.0
A FILM THAT PROVES JUST HOW DUMB CRITICS ARE
Attention, all you half-witted film critics: "Titanic" is not a masterpiece. I would be hard-pressed to even categorize that big-budget piece of junk as a movie. Guess what else? "The Two Jakes" IS a great film! This long-awaited sequel to "Chinatown" falls well short of its predecessor, but still delivers the goods. Nicholson proves that yes, he can indeed direct. A witty screenplay by Robert Towne and a fantastic supporting cast(headed by the always incredible Keitel) help this film stand on its own. Much darker than the original, with plenty of humor mixed in. 4.5/5
