"This is the best detective movie I have ever seen, Jack Nicholson was meant for this role. This movie had me on the edge of my seat the entire time trying to figure out what the end result was going to be with all the clue Gittes kept collecting. The story is great and the ending was tragic and sad, which I enjoyed seeing that you don’t see endings like that."

"This one’s bittersweet since I love it so much for how bleak and morbid it is, but it sucks it was made by a director who’s done something so heinous. Jack Nicholson kills it as always, that ending tho? It’s Chinatown 🤷🏾‍♂️"
