Chinatow a real masterpiece
Chinatown is really a gem. The atmosphere is gripping, the acting really spot on and the scenario deep enough to have several layers. Jack Nicholson is really shining (pun non intended) and the chemistry works fine. Actually it looks like an LA Confidential without the violence to me and I really hope that the follow up will actually get the same treatment. The Blu-ray in itself is good quality, nothing stellar but no obvious defects in my eyes.

Chinatown
Thought it would have the extras on the disc but it doesn't. Film only. Chinatown is a great film but disappointed there are no extras.

Chinatown
Chinatown looks quality in blu ray. It's a pity Paramount didn't include any extras like they did in the US version. Smacks of discrimination.
