来自网友【Agent Scully】的评论In the realm of detective fiction, Philip Marlowe is an iconic figure, a hard-boiled private investigator created by Raymond Chandler whose adventures have been immortalized in print and on screen. The character has been portrayed by various actors over the decades, each bringing their unique touch to the role. In the 2022 film "Marlowe," directed by Neil Jordan and starring Liam Neeson, we see yet another iteration of this classic character. "Marlowe" is based on the novel by John Banville, which itself is a continuation of Chandler's Marlowe stories. The film follows the eponymous detective as he navigates the murky waters of a complex case involving a missing person, blackmail, and the dark underbelly of society. The story is a classic noir, filled with twists and turns that keep the audience guessing until the very end.Liam Neeson, a seasoned actor known for his roles in action thrillers such as the "Taken" series, takes on the role of Marlowe with a certain gravitas that comes with age and experience. His portrayal is marked by a world-weary resignation, fitting for a character who has seen the worst of humanity and yet continues to fight for justice. Neeson's Marlowe is less of a physical force and more of a thinker, a man who uses his intellect to outwit his adversaries.The supporting cast is equally strong, with each actor bringing depth to their respective roles. The chemistry between Neeson and his co-stars, particularly Diane Kruger, adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, hinting at a past that has shaped Marlowe's character.Neil Jordan, the director of "Marlowe," is no stranger to the crime genre, having directed films such as "The Crying Game" and "Interview with the Vampire." His direction in "Marlowe" is characterized by a keen eye for detail and a respect for the source material. Jordan's vision of the film is one that pays homage to the classic noir style while also bringing a modern sensibility to the story.The cinematography is atmospheric, capturing the gritty reality of the film's setting. The use of shadows and dim lighting adds to the suspense and mystery, creating a sense of unease that permeates throughout the film.The reception of "Marlowe" has been mixed. Some critics have praised Neeson's performance and the film's adherence to the noir genre, while others have found it to be a less than stellar addition to the Marlowe canon. One reviewer wrote, "Let those who don't understand be disappointed, let those who understand be utterly disappointed." This sentiment reflects the divide in audience reception, with some feeling that the film failed to capture the essence of Marlowe as a character and the spirit of Chandler's original stories."Marlowe" is a film that attempts to revive the classic detective genre with a modern touch. Liam Neeson's portrayal of the iconic character is a thoughtful and mature one, bringing a different dimension to the role. However, the film's mixed reception suggests that it may not have fully resonated with audiences or lived up to the legacy of its source material.In the end, "Marlowe" is a film that will appeal to fans of the noir genre and those who appreciate a more contemplative and less action-oriented detective story. For others, it may be a film that leaves them wanting more from the character and the story.Whether one views "Marlowe" as a worthy successor to the legacy of Philip Marlowe or a misstep in the character's journey, it is a film that invites discussion and reflection on what makes a detective story truly great. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of Chandler's creation and the timeless nature of the noir genre.
来自网友【LOVE IS ALL】的评论截止到目前，连姆·尼森未来仍旧有近十部以营救命名的电影。这是连姆·尼森根本无法预料的，在2008年已经56岁的他会以动作演员的身份红遍全球。其实当我们把更多的目光聚集到他的动作电影中时，往往不会注意到他也是一位十足的演技实力派，早在1994年的时候他就凭借《辛德勒的名单》获得了第66届奥斯卡金像奖影帝的提名。15年的营救经历，让他收获了丰厚的名利，并成为公认的营救大神。从商业的角度来说，连姆·尼森本人是无法彻底退出营救生涯的，但是从个人的角度来说，他是很想摆脱这种桎梏的，因为用他自己的话说就是自己年纪太大了。在2022年度连姆·尼森的作品数量还是不少的，但是有关营救的只有《黑金营救》一部，其它的作品题材跨度则比较大，不仅有科幻，还有传记和剧情等。其中《马洛》是一部侦探题材影片，影片中的侦探马洛原型来自于著名推理小说家雷蒙德·钱德勒笔下的大侦探马洛，但是影片的故事却是改编自本杰明·布莱克的小说《黑眼金发女》。影片关于马洛的角色设定并不是很高大的形象，片中的马洛经营一家私人侦探事务所，但是发展并不太好，直到一名神秘女子让他寻找失踪的情妇，一个错综复杂的案件浮出水面。作为一部侦探类影片，很让人意外的是整部影片并未表现出令人眼前一亮的斗智斗勇过程，相反更多的是无关痛痒的插科打诨，这让影片整体的效果非常拉胯。由于连姆·尼森营救大神的形象太过于深刻，所以影片中他的出场很容易让观众出戏，总会感觉他在执行营救任务。很显然作为一部侦探电影，《马洛》是不合格的，不要说与《大侦探福尔摩斯》相比，就是跟平淡的《福尔摩斯小姐》相比也是十分不如的。应该说影片就是一部以连姆·尼森为噱头的流水线式电影，所以全球570万美元的票房也是十分惨淡，用我们通俗的说法就是烂片一部。【END】
