All this is routine stuff and it's time for a really good mystery movie.

We don't care what happens next because we don't understand what happened before. Marlowe becomes enjoyable only on a basic level; it's fun to watch the action sequences

One of the most intriguing Chandler adaptations – as well as one of the most over-looked – is 1969’s Marlowe, starring the always charismatic and eminently watchable James Garner.
