If you loved American Heart, try The Two Jakes

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Crime / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to American Heart, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Two Jakes is

Downtown Los Angeles, 1948. A rain-slicked streetlight flickers over a crumpled business card for J.J. Gittes, PI. A developer named Berman wants a quiet divorce check, but when the partner bleeds onto the bedroom rug, the investigation spills into the black gold beneath the city. The phone rings three decades late. Chinatown echoes in every rotary dial.
