As a huge fan of Chinatown and LA Confidential my wife and I loved Neil Jordan's take on the noir detective genre. Frankly so did everyone else in the theater with us.
The scenery is compelling and beautifully shot. The dialogue is deliberate with subtle jabs at modern issues. Marlowe takes you cleverly through the story with each distinctive character adding something unexpected to the mix. Too many reviews complaining about it being slow or having too much action are misguided. I expect over time that people will come to appreciate this well written, well executed project that is Liam Neeson's 100th film!!
Marlowe really is to be savored.
