I am a big fan of the novels (read them all), and as another reviewer points out... Marlowe is NOT an action hero. You do not see the rough and tumble that you get with the Spillane novels - Mike Hammer. I was expecting a nice slower paced story like we got with another Neeson movie -A Walk Among The Tombstones-, which was fantastic. I love period pieces, the scenes and costuming were great, the actors were great... I just expected something more from Neeson. I did not really buy into him as Marlowe. The story was a bit flat for me... not sure if it was Neeson or just a case of a poor story and directing.
