Marlowe could’ve been Neeson's way out, but he and Jordan retread the same elements from his dull action pictures. I guess we’ll never see Neeson make another good movie again.

| Original Score: D- | Mar 6, 2024

A not insignificant portion of the dialogue is so hard-boiled you can see the cracks [but] a couple of bright spots in the starry cast [and] handsome production values keep the movie slinking along well enough.

Marlowe isn’t perfectly hard-boiled, but it isn’t scrambled either. It’s fun and it’s fast: Information and wisecracks are packed into every minute of every scene to the point of giddiness.

Marlowe is a stale and pale slab of noir which mistakes narrative crowding and useless exposition for plot and character development and relies on violence and explicit depictions of tinsel town depravity to attempt engagement.

The ensemble cast, though elegantly dressed with fedoras, three-piece suits, berets and perfectly cut dresses are strangely disassociated from the happenings on screen

While the film might not seem that impressive to someone who just watches blockbuster films it will certainly be savored by those who enjoy a more serious side to their cinema experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 22, 2023

It’s a deluxe nostalgia trip guided by a director who really knows his way around the genre.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 18, 2023

Jordan does a competent job, but this is not a patch on his best films...

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 18, 2023

Liam Neeson does a fairly decent job as the latest actor to step into the shoes of Philip Marlowe...No big surprises here, but director Neil Jordan cobbles together a handsome homage to the hard-boiled detective yarns of yore...

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 17, 2023

It is useless to regurgitate genre clichés if there's no heart behind it. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 15, 2023

Falsehood, threadbare narrative, poor imagery, and a conventional script with nothing exciting to say deluge almost the entire movie. [Full review in Spanish]

| May 12, 2023

A detective film that is oozing of the past, making you settle for little. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 12, 2023

… engrossing and diverting …

| Original Score: 15/20 | May 3, 2023

Marlowe flounders between being the noir detective homage it could've been and merely being Neeson's 100th movie. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 28, 2023

This resurrection is more akin with a Zombie movie; the detective is in decay, a mere shadow of what he's been in the novels or previous cinematic adaptations. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 27, 2023

Marlowe is well shot and occasionally quite pleasant to look at. But it is also muddled, muted, poorly paced and missing any of the tension, mystery and bite that it needed.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 27, 2023

It’s not February without Liam Neeson hunting someone down and killing them. This time he tries Noir on for size. Give him credit for continuing to try to please his fans and tackling a slightly different style, but Marlowe is just mediocre

| Apr 10, 2023

Something a little better could have been done with the character, there is no doubt about that, but I still recommend the film to those who miss a slightly more classic and mature kind of cinema in your local theatres. Full review in Spanish.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2023

Despite good intentions, Jordan’s stilted, sluggish and largely suspenseless detective yarn is all over the shop.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 23, 2023

Great direction can elevate a terrible screenplay but it can’t make it good, and this is nowhere near Neil Jordan’s best direction.
