This movie was pretty dang terrible, and it had some really great ratings to go along with it, haha. I noticed a lot of long shots with no dialogue which I notice about a lot of European films, which is no surprise considering the Polish director; despite this, it still felt a little unnatural. I don't like that kind of filming for some reason. The music was also Jerry Goldsmith, which I appreciated. A good soundtrack really helps the movie. It was made in the 70s, though it didn't feel like it. It felt more modern. In fact, if not for the poor quality film, I probably would have thought it was made more recently.
As for plot, it was good, but I found it was the exact same problem as Rango. The main character discovering corruption in the middle of a drought and fighting to fix it. Also, the whole time he had that thing on his nose, I just couldn't take him seriously. It was a good plot idea for the most part and an interesting story, but it really just reminded me of a boring version of James Bond or a bad version of Rango.
And the ending was terrible. The plot had a lot of potential but the ending was really horrible. Abrasive and upsetting. I really didn't like it. That was terrible. I'm upset. Also apparently the director is a pedophile himself? Wow what a horrible thing oh my god. Why on Earth was it rated so high??? I'm posting this without pictures because I'm angry leave me alone. What a horrible waste of tiME.
Warnings for Chinatown: pedophilia, rape, several murders, gore, mild nudity, really bad ending
