Came to see a little bit of François Arnaud, and you know sometimes you find out pearls when you watch an unknown movie just beacouse an actor you like is in it. Not this time. I really thought it might turn up good since it has a really solid cast, but even they couldn't lift it up enough.

It is Liam Neeson in a noir film. It wasn't good, but the idea of it still makes me laugh.

Despite a strong cast and impressive set design, Marlowe feels lifeless, failing to immerse in the shadowy, atmospheric world it aims to recreate.
The production design is fantastic -every set, costume, and lighting choice suggests a love for noir aesthetic. But without the right tone, pacing, and direction, all that is wasted. The dialogue lacks the snappy bite of classic hardboiled detective stories, and the film’s pacing drags, removing any sense of urgency.
Ultimately, Marlowe is a beautiful shell of a noir film - visually striking but emotionally hollow.
