Review of The Two Jakes (1990) by Phil S — 19 Mar 2015

While both on the director's chair and reprising his role that'd became one of his best in his acting career, Jack Nicholson done this follow-up to noir masterpiece "Chinatown" with grace on the compelling direction, characterization and complexity, as well style and performance. But like how follow-ups to highly acclaimed films goes, it's doesn't have enough to go above or match the level of the original. The main flaw to that reason for this film is the convolution in the basic, understood direction. Although, it's overall a nice follow-up to a great film with the best star returned. (B+).
