United States | Chicago Tribune | "Jack Nicholson's impressive, convoluted and moody sequel to Chinatown" | POS |
United States | Chicago Reader | "This is a worthy successor to Chinatown - full of ecological and geological insights into Los Angeles history that recall Raymond Chandler and Ross MacDonald " | POS |
United States | San Francisco Chronicle | "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" | NEU |
United States | USA Today | "'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" | POS |
United States | The Wall Street Journal | "It's ended up a weak imitation of the original." | NEG |
