The Two Jakes
1990
****
Director: Jack Nicholson
Cast: Jack Nicholson, Harvey Keitel, Meg Tilly, Madeleine Stowe, Eli Wallach
The belated sequel to the film noir classic Chinatown is a more conventional crime mystery, but a very entertaining one all the same. Harvey Keitel is excellent as the second Jake who hires the first one to catch his promiscuous wife in the act. Written by Robert Towne, like the original.
