In late 1930s Bay City, a brooding, down on his luck detective is hired to find the ex-lover of a glamorous heiress.
- ርልዪረMarch 3, 2025Oscar nominee Liam Neeson tries to fill some very big cinematic shoes (& literal ones as well) in this new 2022 adventure or case more to the point for one private detective Philip Marlowe. Reuniting w/his Michael Collins director, Oscar winner Neil Jordan, Neeson gets a job dropped in his lap to find a missing prop master (he works in Hollywood handling firearms & such) by a comely client played by Diane Kruger who’s family, including her mother, Oscar winner Jessica Lange (reuniting w/Neeson after 1995’s Rob Roy), runs the studio the AWOL man works for. Getting involved in a mix of drugs, glamorous women & pissed off cops constantly on Neeson’s case (embodied by Colm Meaney & Ian Hart, who worked w/Neeson & Jordan on Michael Collins), the case never really comes together & plays out like a pastiche of past Marlowe cases (hell James Garner played a titular version in 1969 which featured him fighting none other than Bruce Lee in an office) but due to the low budget & energy on display I put this one in the loser column which sucks since private dicks on screen is a dime a dozen & when you have the exemplary Bosch: Legacy streamer w/Titus Welliver doing the same thing on the small screen, you have to bring more to the table than what you have here. Other supporting players include Alan Cumming, Danny Huston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbale & Daniela Melchior.
