Chinatown

[1974, Movie, R, 131 mins]

Chinatown: Review

A wonderfully brooding, suspenseful film noir and one of the key films of the '70s. Jack Nicholson is superb as Jake Gittes, a scheming L.A. private eye who specializes in the most distasteful gumshoe enterprise: divorce. Faye Dunaway costars as the dame who waltzes into his office and changes his life forever. Read the complete review for Chinatown
