Director: Roman Polanski
Certificate:
Something else Jack Nicholson Kicked A! in.
This is a great film. It has a clever script, superb direction and brilliant acting.
But that’s not to say it doesn’t have its faults.
It feels incredibly slow at times. This mostly builds up tension, to great effect, however there are certain points that ultimately lead to an anti-climax. And many people will feel cheated with this.
At the end of the day it’s a very well made noir film, yeah its not to everyone’s tastes, (the bleak ending, will not rouse any joy what so ever) but not everyone enjoys noir or being slowly drawn in to the mystery over time, but if you do give China Town the time it deserves and you will not be disappointed!
4.5/5
