That seemed to go on forever. After the interminable slog through of which, I almost expected to find my first Social Security check in the mail.
Based on the famous fictional character created by Raymond Chandler this film shamelessly hoped to trade upon, since it isn't even Chandler at all, but is based on a 2014 novel I never even heard of. Nor is the ripped off Marlowe character anything like the iconic one of Chandler's fiction. Heck, he isn't even American. Instead we get a miscast Liam Neeson with a very unMarlowe-like brogue lumbering through the film with his patented stick of wood performance, humorless, boring, and shambling through it as if he were even more bored than we are.
Making me conclude that if anyone made a dime off this picture, somebody musta been expecting change.
