A man with a rich family is angry about it.
2/4 (Indifferent).
[spoilers:] There's no development. It's just a static portrait of an asshole. The big finale is that he (literally) looks in a mirror, then goes on doing exactly what he was going to do from the start of the movie.

2022 movie #202. 1970. I saw this when it originally came out. Still a powerful movie with a great performance by Nicholson. The film was nominated for Oscars for best picture, best actor and best supporting actress (Black) and screenplay. Didn't win any of them.
