Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Jack Nicholson directs and stars as Jake Gittes in this 'sequel' to Chinatown. Jake runs a small detective agency in post-war LA and, for old times sake, takes on a divorce shakedown for Julius 'Jake' Berman (Harvey Keitel), who thinks his wife is cheating on him. But when they burst into the motel room, instead of incriminating pictures, Berman shoots the man dead. Who happens to be Berman's business partner and whose wife (Madeline Stowe) thinks was murdered for his share of the company. Once again, Jake gets drawn into the murky world of dodgy companies and corrupt businessmen.
