Chinatown (1974)

Noir was never *exactly* my favorite genre. They're all fun but they're all exactly the same. And this is most definitely noir. Touch of Evil can't have really ended the noir cycle, not when this came along only six years later. It's a very well done film, though, as far as noir goes. Jack Nicholson does a fantastic job with his role, and although everything that happens is fairly predictable (at least from my end) it's quite interesting about getting there. I would go ahead and recommend this - about five times as much if you already like noir flicks. 3 stars.
