Trivia
This film is based upon the 2014 novel "The Black-Eyed Blonde" by Benjamin Black, not one of Raymond Chandler's original Marlowe works.

Goofs
After Liam Neeson's Marlowe is knocked unconscious by the thugs, he tells Ian Hart's police detective that the thugs took his .38 caliber pistol when it was a .45 automatic in the previous scene. Hart hands Marlowe what he calls "another .38," which is a .32 caliber revolver.

Quotes
Philip Marlowe: [after beating up two thugs] Fuck it!
[grabs a chair and hits one of them in the head]
Philip Marlowe: I'm too old for this shit!

This was a lifeless and disappointing movie

We were disappointed from the beginning of the film. The dialog was stilted and awkward. As the movie progressed, the plot was murky and the characters undeveloped. The best part for me was the arrival of Colm Meaney's character - he absolutely brought life and color to an otherwise dull and lifeless film. A total waste of an excellent cast. Withint the first ten minutes, we considered leaving but decided to stick with it. I fell asleep after 20 minutes and woke up in time to enjoy Meaney's performance. Also, the actor playing Cedric did a great job and I look forward to seeing more of him in the future. I recommend that if you're looking for a movie to watch, give this one a pass. Not the Marlowe that I was looking for.
