Chinatown
Private eye Jake Gittes lives off of the murky moral climate of sunbaked, pre-World War II Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite to investigate her husband's extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together.
Rowan Krzysiak reviewedFebruary 18, 2025
A very solid, straightforward story and one well told.
There's nothing of suprise about the era, the location and even the characters so if that kind of thing is not of interest in general to you then this'll feel like an expensive episode of Columbo.
