Yeah, this movie. I thought this movie was very good and I liked the ending but I am baffled as to why it's considered one of the best movies of all time. I hope they never try to reboot this movie but someone will eventually.

I agree wholeheartedly. It was a very entertaining film but Nicholson's performance seemed like nothing special and I personally didn't find the resolution to be as satisfying as I had hoped.

It is a very good movie and one I really like. It is one of those flicks that Hollywood just jizzes over. I like LA Confidential better. Just because Nicholson is in it doesn't make it better.

It was pretty good - I think it gets a lot of ink due to the nature (and kinda sick twist) of the story . . . and its setting. The sequel (The Two Jakes) was kinda so-so and a box office bomb.

It is very well made and directed, but it is somewhat a relic of the 70's 'everything is corrupt' school of film.

The script is what makes this movie so entertaining and why many consider it one of the best.

phenomenal script, well-made, well-shot

I didn't get it, or something.

Never was one of my favorites.

Chinatown was so good Hollywood forgave Roman Polanski for being a rapist and a pedophile.

I didn't get the big deal about this movie either. Really slow with a horrible ending.

I had to look this up, and I have only seen bits and pieces of it, but I liked what I saw. Now I have to find the full movie.
