- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Jack Nicholson's impressive, convoluted and moody sequel to Chinatown"
-
"This is a worthy successor to Chinatown - full of ecological and geological insights into Los Angeles history that recall Raymond Chandler and Ross MacDonald "
-
"An interesting movie and audiences are predisposed to warm up to Nicholson the actor, but they may not be so charitable to Nicholson the director"
-
"'The Two Jakes' turns out to be a surprisingly rich movie - if you're willing to spend 138 minutes on what is essentially a psychological study"
-
"It's ended up a weak imitation of the original."
