88It's an exquisite short story about a mood, and a time, and a couple of guys who are blind-sided by love.
-
80The Two Jakes is well-acted and looks fabulous, cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond paints it eerily bright and shiny.
-
50Towne doesn't weave all the elements as deftly as before, and his political observations seem secondhand.
-
10What The Two Jakes makes us long for most is the earlier film.
