Well I really wanted this film to be good, especially considering Liam Neeson's recent films have all been terrible. This one actually looked like it would be different.
Unfortunately its another painfully stale outing for Liam. Boring, dull, and just sad are the words I would use to describe Marlowe. Bland writing, terrible and at times cringe worthy dialogue. Just made me think why on earth is Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger in this film, they are soo much better than this crap.
The only thing that got me through this film is the fact that one, this film did have a good cast. Two, I love the 1930s aesthetic, and neo-noir atmosphere is awesome. Three, Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger are great actors but even they couldn't save this film from being unbearably boring.
If you're a fan of Neeson then maybe if you're desperate enough you could possibly derive some enjoyment from this but I doubt it, huge skip. Probably would've done better as a straight to streaming movie.
