Chinatown Ratings & Reviews
- Logan EstridgeJuly 6, 2025Perfect film noir, and surprisingly funny at times. You feel like you are solving the mystery right alongside Mr. Grittes. Every detail is important, and nothing is too spelled out for the audience. I'd like to rewatch it to see if I missed anything.
- Buster The BearMarch 9, 2025Slow burn with a touch of romance. A story of family cruelty and conspiracy. Corrupt government vs the people of Los Angeles… “Survival is the ability to swim in strange water”
- j.pete6November 2, 2024THE GOAT, BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. ION WANNA HEAR YOUR OPINION BROTHER
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 18, 2025A 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.
