Sign In. Marlowe Hide Spoilers. Liam Neeson is a strongly capable actor whose committed performances are nearly always wasted on incomprehensible messes of films, and this latest one is no exception. In fact, Marlowe wastes its entire talented cast AND a skilled production design crew on a woefully by-the-numbers crime story that is frustratingly clumsy in how it delivers information to the audience. Most of the story consists of exposition-heavy, dialogue-driven scenes that are slapped together with editing that leaves it unclear how and why characters get from one place to the next. Much of the information we receive from the dialogue ends up being meaningless to the story anyway, and it just winds up being a confusing mess that left me feeling nothing. Not a single moment is really dedicated to letting us know who the characters are, or even what their needs and goals are. It's over minutes of meandering from one scene to the next without ever knowing why we're here or where we're trying to go. Confusing, bloated, corny, emotionally bereft, and pointless. Just like most other Neeson flicks of the past decade. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

To know more about Nico peterson Clare and Dorothy Cavendish was really a pleasure and i need to say that we had some pretty interesting revelations, surprises and mysteries about Nico. It's surprising that with as much literature is discussed or referenced in the film Alice in Wonderland, Elements of Style, references to writer James Joyce , the literature of the script falls so short of the mark. A genre populated with cynical, down-on-their-luck rumpled detectives, beautiful but deadly women, double and triple crosses, and a case far further reaching than the detective initially conceived of, the noir made use of all these elements to create mysteries and whodunits that have stood the test of time. So several baddies want what he has, whatever it is. The visuals are predominantly stunning and a necessary focal point in comparison to the long-winded plot which struggled to provide a narrative worth following. Two, I love the s aesthetic, and neo-noir atmosphere is awesome. Hillary's 6 Picks for March and Beyond. The movie centres around Philip Marlowe, a private investigator hired by a mysterious woman to locate her missing husband. An excellent job of has been done of creating sets which truly evoke late s Los Angeles. One of the weakest Marlowe adaptations.

Marlowe has a packed and star-studded cast. The neo-noir follows Philip Marlowe as he investigates the disappearance and presumed death of Nico Peterson after being tipped off about it by an heiress. Jordan has assembled a fantastic, talented, and well-known cast to portray the myriad of characters in Marlowe , most of whom have some kind of ulterior motive that Marlowe tries to figure out, all while finding himself knee-deep in illicit affairs the more he unearths their secrets.
