Marlowe. Stars Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, with a loaded cast. Directed by Neil Jordan. This is an unusual film. Set in LA in the 1930s, detective Marlowe is engaged to find a missing person by a wealthy socialite (Kruger). Nothing unusual there. The challenge is the dialogue. In what I suppose was an attempt at authenticity, it uses lingo and expressions from that time and place and as a result, it’s hard to understand what is being said. It’s slow moving and yet jumps from place to place. It’s ok at best. One interesting element is a
rarely seen powerful individual who is clearly meant to be Joe Kennedy.
