Interesting, I never thought of Marlow being an action hero (I was expecting to hear him explaining how he has a very particular set of skills, skills he acquired over a very long career) but let’s see how Neil Jordan handles things.
Very Irish.

Very Irish. Yeah Im not sure what to make of this..I dont have high hopes I wish they went with someone unknown or less famous for the protagonist role Feels like it will be a pale imitation. Yeah Marlowe was a tough guy alright but this is.. Cant remember if I was a fan of the Humphrey Bogart version but I think it was better depicted than this |

By the way, check out the tagline for The Big Sleep.  |

It was okay, I suppose. Felt like a pastiche of earlier movies.

This movie's title character was more Mike Hammer that Philip Marlowe, killing bad guys and setting them up to be killed. He has no wit. There is no snappy repartee. Leeson's Marlowe is miles away from Chandler's Marlowe or Bogie's or Dick Powell's or Robert Mitchum's. The producers could have named the character anything and kept the entire script. Calling it "Marlowe" is bait and switch selling.

Oh, I was hoping it was going to be a movie about Christopher Marlowe being a dandy playwright in the 16th century.  |
