Chinatown

A private detective investigating an apparent affair becomes entangled in murder, corruption, and political scandal in sunbaked 1930s Los Angeles. As the case grows more complicated, he follows a trail of deception involving powerful interests, personal secrets, and a struggle over the city’s future.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy patient, atmospheric detective stories with layered conspiracies and morally complicated characters, especially films such as L.A. Confidential or Zodiac; Not for you if you need fast pacing or easy answers.
