How to watch Marlowe?: Liam Neeson and thriller looks like a match made in heaven on paper, which automatically makes his latest “Marlowe” a very anticipated release of 2023. The character of Philip Marlowe is, of course, a widely popular one. There have been many interpretations of the character. American-British author Raymond Chandler, famous for his detective fiction writing, originally created Marlowe.
The latest movie is directed by Neil Jordon and written by William Monahan. It is based on the 2014 John Banville novel titled “The Black-Eyed Blond.” Neil Jordon is a veteran Irish director and writer who has been working for a long time. His most notable work is probably The Crying Game (1992), for which he received an Academy Award for best original screenplay. Jordon also has the prestigious Silver Bear for best director at the Berlin International Film Festival for the movie The Butcher Boy (1997). His movie Michael Collins (1996) is the winner of the Golden Lion prize as well, which is the highest honor at the Venice Film Festival.
Marlow is set in 1939 Los Angeles, where grizzled, down-on-luck detective Philip Marlowe gets hired by a glamourous heiress who wants him to find her ex-lover. The mother of the heiress, happening to be a well-known movie star, is further adding volume to the twisted tale of conspiracy.
With a director like Jordon at the helm and a huge cast led by Neeson and supported by other A-listers, Marlowe is expected to be a winner. However, the critical response has been anything but warm. In fact, it can be termed disastrous considering the na 11% Critic score on the Rotten Tomatoes website. At the same time, the audience’s reaction has been much more hopeful, which should be taken into account.
Marlowe Cast:
If there is one thing about which the “Marlow” movie can boast, then that has to be its cast. Neeson plays the titular character, of course. His rich heiress client is played by Diane Kruger, and her movie-star mother is being played by the legendary Jessica Lange. Tony actor-winning actor Alan Cumming, well-known Italian-American actor Danny Huston and “Lost” actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje are also playing important parts in the supporting cast.
Is Marlowe playing in theatre?
After its premiere at the 70th San Sebastian Film Festival in September 2022, Marlowe was originally supposed to release in the United States on December 2, 2022, but it got delayed. The new release date is February 15, 2022, which is today. So you need to check the Fandango website for tickets for the movie if you are planning to watch it.
Where can I stream Marlowe?
As it is just released in the theatres, it is not available anywhere online for streaming. But we are making an educated guess of the movie ultimately landing on the Peacock website for streaming within 45 days of its release. If we get to know any concrete information regarding this, we will come back to you.
