Marlowe (2023)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
"Marlowe" (2022), directed by Neil Jordan, is a noir crime thriller set in the late 1930s Bay City. The movie centers around Philip Marlowe (Liam Neeson), a down-on-his-luck detective hired to find the ex-lover of a glamorous heiress (Diane Kruger), daughter of a well-known movie star (Jessica Lange). The disappearance is the first twist in a series of bewildering events, and soon Marlowe is embroiled in a deadly investigation and web of lies that he’s determined to bring to light.While Liam Neeson is not necessarily a bad fit for the classic character, "Marlowe" fails to make a case for itself as either a worthwhile franchise extension or a fun mystery in its own right. The movie has some decent period detail, but all in all, this misguided revival is so slow and dull that it'll leave fans of the character headed for a big sleep.Overall, "Marlowe" is a forgettable movie that fails to deliver the thrills and excitement that fans of the genre might expect. The plot is convoluted and lacks coherence, and the pacing is slow and plodding. While the movie has some decent performances from the cast, it ultimately falls short of expectations. If you're looking for a good noir crime thriller, you might want to look elsewhere.

From the same director
Michael Collins
Not every day can we get a glimpse into Ireland's history, but this movie puts us right in the middle of one of its most important moments, with one of its crucial figures. 'Michael Collins' is a highly worthy biographical film, taking home the top prize at the Venice Film Festival.
Greta
Neil Jordan, of 'Interview with the Vampire', has been producing less and less - 'Greta' is only his second movie in the 2010s, after 'Byzantium: An Eternal Life' and the series 'The Borgias'. This time, the director embarks on a story about an older woman's strange obsession with a young girl, with touches of thriller and horror. Unfortunately, the final result is uneven, alternating good moments with others that seem, unfortunately, an involuntary comedy. Still, the attempt to address deeper themes stands out and the cast, composed of Isabelle Huppert ('Elle') and Chloë Grace Moretz ('Kick Ass'), who in recent years have chosen more complex roles in independent productions.
Thriller
La extorsión
A solid Argentine genre film proposal. La extorsión follows a commercial pilot who holds some secrets, which intelligence services start to use against him to extort him and force him to smuggle a suitcase from Argentina to Spain. Naturally, the tension starts to get to him and things get out of hand, in an intense plot with some logic flaws. However, the lead performance by Guillermo Francella (El clan) is, as always, impeccable. If you enjoy thrillers, you're sure to love it.
Death's Roulette
A surprising mix made in Mexico of escape room and horror thriller genres, similar to Saw: juego macabro. In Death's Roulette, we follow a group of seven strangers who awaken trapped in an unknown house. To escape, they have to make an impossible decision: one of them must die, somebody has to agree to it and cannot offer themselves. With time running out to save their lives, the group soon discovers that a dark secret from the past binds them together. Even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel and is a bit predictable, there are interesting twists in the narrative, highlighted by a great cast including names like Maribel Verdú, Adriana Paz and Fernando Becerril. A solid directorial debut for Colombian actor Manolo Cardona, best known for roles in productions such as Narcos and Rubirosa.
