Review of Chinatown (1974) by Jonny C — 03 Oct 2015
Chinatown is a classic noir film and is not just one of the best in its he genre but one of the best movies of all time. This film not only has some really great twists and turns during its amazing story but it has one of the best and most memorable ending scenes in the history of cinema. I watched it recently for the first time in about 10 years and was just utterly amazed by the great directing from the legend Roman Polanski along with the cinematography and production in this movie. Beautiful set pieces a solid story line with suspense and action and a great script, this movie is also a really good period peice the costume design and set design are very accurate to the time. And the acting was great oh man Jack Nicholson was a force through the 70s and 80s he just demolishes his role, Faye Dunaway was also really good. If I have one complaint a out this movie is that its run time is slightly long and drags a little at points. But If you're a true Cinephile or movie junkie this is a 100% watch if you havnt watched this yet you're missing out on a cinematic masterpiece. .
8.25/10.
