Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
It's an exquisite short story about a mood, and a time, and a couple of guys who are blind-sided by love.

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 and give a view of southern California that could have been conceived only by a native.

Empire -
The Two Jakes is well-acted and looks fabulous, cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond paints it eerily bright and shiny.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
The Two Jakes is competent and watchable.
|
|
Christian Science Monitor -
Robert Towne's screenplay is less opportunistic than many of his efforts in recent years, although it still contains moments designed merely to shock or titillate.
