Review of The Two Jakes (1990) by Jamie D — 26 Jun 2010
What made Chinatown so phenomenal was it's twisting around of noir cliches that made it seem original, even in it's contrivity. The Two Jakes follow these cliches, and with Jack Nicholson, the film is mildly enjoyable, but it doesn't have the spell of the original.
