Well if you are looking for an old fashioned, film noir-style movie, unfortunately ‘Marlowe’ is not it. I will say that this movie does make a decent attempt at it but I think my main issue is the film is too slow-paced as far as development and action. It started off very promising but as it goes on it just loses its steam. Liam Neeson, in his portrayal of Marlowe, does a fine (but not great) job and Jessica Lange, as Hollywood film star Dorothy Quincannon, is always a great presence on the screen. But even she can't save this one. It's disappointing, as I was really hoping to see a good, old-fashioned thriller. But this one just didn't do it for me.
