A great, fantastic homage to film noir and the idea of the "unsolvable case."

A classic. Jack Nicholson did a masterful job with this. John Huston was a menacingly realistic actor instead of a director. Very memorable. I've watched this movie many times.

The film's greatest strength is the many, many surprises that the plot has in store. By the film's end, we have been confronted by so many revelations that the beginning of the film seems an eternity ago. Add to that the commanding (yet somehow eerily comfortable) performance of Nicholson in the lead role. What we then have is a powerful screen presence to carry us through a well-constructed mystery. A great movie.

Utterly immersive; obviously Nicholson is great but as the plot thickens and thickens what really stands out is Polanski's direction - there are no jump cuts, no fancy transitions, but it tells the story brilliantly - stylish, evocative and unrelentingly atmospheric. The ending is magnificent. On second viewing it's actually Dunaway and Huston who shine most, to the extent that if ever an actor isn't pulling their weight playing the "nasty old man" I just wish the former was in it somehow.

Long after the advent of Noir, Polanski managed to perfect the form. Take one of the best screenplays ever written, plunk down Nicholson at the height of his skills, and you get classic. Goldsmith's music don't stink either.

jack and faye is a pretty amazing pairing, and the ending is up there with The Tenant as far as insane polanski climaxes go. i think the rest of the screenplay isn't quite as legendary as it's made out to be, but this is still the best of the second wave noirs

Simply one of the best screenplays ever written. Nicholson is perfect. Although it's not a tear-jerker by any means, the ending is powerful and gets me every time.

Great color noir, Nicholson is excellent and the plot is very compelling. The ending actually shocked me, which surprised the hell out of me.
