Marlowe

Marlowe (2023) is a neo-noir crime film directed by Neil Jordan and available to watch online on iFILM. Liam Neeson steps into the trench coat as Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler's world-weary Los Angeles private eye, this time working from a script based on John Banville's continuation novel. The year is 1939, the case starts small — a beautiful blonde wants her ex found — and unravels fast.

The trail leads straight into the money and secrets of one of California's most powerful families. Diana Kruger plays the woman who sets everything in motion; Jessica Lange and Danny Huston round out a cast that knows how to keep things tight-lipped. Jordan shoots it with the patience the genre demands: long shadows, bad faith, and dialogue that cuts sideways.

Neeson plays against type here — no action hero, just a tired man who keeps digging because stopping would be worse. For fans of classic detective fiction done with genuine craft, this one rewards the slow burn. Stream Marlowe (2023) online on iFILM.
