   Is the Two Jakes a good sequel?

   • Yet The Two Jakes is admirably dense in a manner that's satisfying rather than frustrating. The Two Jakes is the best Chinatown sequel anyone could reasonably expect, and it's very much worth a look. The Two Jakes allows Nicholson to reprise one of his most memorable characters as a way of seeing whether he's still got it.

   Is 'the Two Jakes' a good thriller?

   • The verve, dramatic propulsion and sense of evil that informed Polanski's Chinatown are largely missing from The Two Jakes. But it is, for all its murkiness, an intelligent, enjoyable noir thriller. As a thriller, The Two Jakes proves impossible to follow; as an exercise in retro style, it glows with sullen beauty.

   What is the point of the Two Jakes?

   • She is like a bird with a broken wing. The point of "The Two Jakes" is that love and loss are more important than the mechnical distribution of guilt and justice. When Nicholson and Keitel, as the two Jakes, have their final exchange of revelations, it is such a good scene because the normal considerations of a crime movie are placed on hold.

   Aug 10, 1990 · When Nicholson and Keitel, as the two Jakes, have their final exchange of revelations, it is such a good scene because the normal considerations of a crime movie are placed on hold. The movie really is about the values that people have, and about the things that mean more to them than life and freedom.

   86 Reviews. Hide Spoilers. Sort by: Filter by Rating: 6/10. Has real potential, but in the end, it's just too convoluted and long-winded. TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews 3 December 2006. This sounded pretty good... Nicholson is mostly fun to watch, and I enjoyed Chinatown immensely (Towne returning to write this sequel was a treat, as well).
