I recently watched the movie Marlowe. The movie stars Liam Neeson as the private detective, Philip Marlowe. Set in 1939: Neeson’s character is hired to find a missing man. That is the MacGuffin. There’s even a MacGuffin within.the MacGuffin. Unfortunately, Neeson is too old for the role of the fist fighting, machine gun toting detective. At least twice in the movie, the two love interests acknowledge that. One of those is played by Jessica Lange, who is superb as the Gloria Swanson like character.
It’s not a bad movie, the sets are perfect and the supporting cast set the right tone. It’s on Netflix. I rate it C+
