| Jim Carrier | 92 | - Classic Jack being Jack as Jake Gittes, a private eye that gets mixed up in an affluent families' problems...leading to major problems of his own. Great writing, great directing by the late, great John Huston. You want to see this classic. |

| Bryan Lienesch | 89 | - The more you look back and the more you cut away al the bells and whistles of modern cinema, the more you realize just how much Nicholson's charisma bursts right through the screen. |
