Marlowe, with Liam Neeson, resurrects a vintage gumshoe but loses some of its mystique
The richly hard-boiled terrain of detective Philip Marlowe has always been, to quote Raymond Chandler,"a nice neighborhood to have bad habits in."
But it's been a long time, almost half a century, since Marlowe was notably portrayed on the big screen."Marlowe," with Liam Neeson as the private eye, is a reclamation project, a bid to recapture some old-school, tough-talking movie magic. And, intriguingly,"Marlowe" is not taken directly from Chandler.
