Synopsis A landmark movie in the film noir tradition, Roman Polanski's Chinatown stands as a true screen classic. Jack Nicholson is private eye Jake Gittes, living off the murky moral climate of sunbaked, pre-war Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite to investigate her husband's extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together for one, unforgettable night in... Chinatown. Co-starring film legend John Huston and featuring an Academy Award-winning script by Robert Towne, Chinatown captures a lost era in a masterfully woven movie that remains a timeless gem.

Customer Review They just don't make 'em like this anymore... - 3.75 out of 5  (11/29/1999) This movie put a hook in me like few others. I've always had an affinity for the period piece/detective mystery, although, most of the good film noir's were made back when they weren't period pieces, but modern day. Chinatown is so completely at home where it is. It doesn't try to ruch along at breakneck pace like today's buddy/action/cop pictures.
