| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer  Liam Neeson isn’t necessarily a bad fit for the classic character, but Marlowe fails to make a case for itself as either a worthwhile franchise extension or a fun mystery in its own right. | 4 |  |
| CommonSenseMedia Jeffrey Anderson Violence, drugs in slick, cynical private-eye story. | 10 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy Despite the cast, I just don’t see the film really catching on with audiences and thus the only remaining mystery will be whether anyone will try again and if it will be another half-century or so until the character reemerges | 8 | |
