- Synopsis:
- Jack Nicholson returns as private eye Jake Gittes in this atmospheric 'Chinatown' follow-up that's hit upon "the elusive sequel formula for somehow enhancing a great original". Much has changed since we last saw Jake. The war has come and gone, 1948 Los Angeles teems with optimism and fast bucks. But there's one thing Jake knows hasn't changed: "Nine times out of ten, if you follow the money you will get to the truth". And that's the trail he follows when a routine case of marital hanky panky explodes into a murder that's tied to a grab for oil - and to Jake's own past.

Chinatown S equel - The Two Jakes review by NO
Confusing start-earthquakes,shooting,hysterical woman, confusing names but it gets better although noway as good as Chinatown.Didnt recognise Madeline Stowe as a floosy although she looks herself in the Courtroom scene.Jack & Harvey Keitel are both good as usual Not much
action & I didnt follow the Police attacking him-the previous history of Jack-does it relate to the earlier film because I cannot remember.
Disappointing in a way but worth seeing.
