Marlowe (2022)
Was hanging to watch a new detective noir. Really enjoyed Marlowe, really hit the spot. Love the poisoning scene. Great to see Alan Cumming in there too. Danny Huston plays a great villain, would love to see more Bond villains like him. I'm also keen to watch See How They Run and Death on the Nile.
I like it quite a bit as well. Pity it didn't get much of an audience. I thought Neeson was a good Marlowe, especially trying to cast that role today. Made a nice older version of the character.
I Know, IMDB is not very reliable but this is crazy.

While film noir had its heyday in the disillusioned postwar era of the 1940s and ’50s, its seductively moody style and dark, cynical edge have continued to inspire more recent filmmakers to put their own stamps on the genre. Featuring unforgettable femmes fatales (Linda Fiorentino’s ice-cold bad girl in The Last Seduction) and rogue detectives (a shockingly sleazy James Woods in Cop, Harvey Keitel and Nicolas Cage as two very different Bad Lieutenants), these next-generation crime thrillers reveal the myriad ways in which the hard-boiled vocabulary of noir has endured and evolved over the decades. Bringing together acclaimed modern classics (L.A. Confidential) and hidden gems (The Deep End) from the New Hollywood of the 1970s (Night Moves, Obsession) to the VHS era of the 1980s and ’90s (Crimes of Passion, Out of Sight) and beyond, this selection proves that noir is more than just a single era or movement—it’s a state of mind.
