Marlowe | 2/15/23 | Open Road | Liam Neeson, directed by Neil Jordan

Recommended Posts



Actually looking forward to this. With Neil Jordan directing it should at least be decent. I'd be happy with A Walk Among the Tombstones level of quality.

 

Open road is a disappointing distributor tho, especially when you consider they have been distributing Neesons most recent schlock

Probably safe to assume it's not very good between the dumpy distributor + dumpy choice of release date with the post-Thanksgiving/first weekend of December spot (the other major release for that weekend is Universal's R-rated "David Harbour as Badass Santa" thriller Violent Night).

As a huge,huge Raymond Chandler fan, I am skeptical about this.

It's not based on one of Chandler's Phlip Marlowe novels, but on a "Spinoff" novel written in 2014 which did not impress me that much.  I lke Neeson, I l ike Jordan, but think they should have gone for one of the Chandler written novels.

Neeson is a little old to be doing Marlowe in the Chandler novels. This is specifically an "old Marlowe" story.

I will say, because this is a good thread to say it, that I recently watched The Company of Wolves, which was Neil Jordan's second film he ever directed. That was a fantastic film. It's the only Jordan film I've seen, but from that film and his filmography, I see that Jordan has definitely earned his place in the industry. He's a rare jack of all trades, too, because he's approached a lot of different genres—fairy tale, vampire, drama, thriller, and now mystery. If I see Marlowe for any reason, it's because of my curiosity about Neil Jordan as a director.
