Los Angeles in the 1930s: In a city consumed by corruption, private detective Philip Marlowe lives by his own moral principles. Business is bad – until Clare, a woman as mysterious as she is beautiful, walks into his office. The wealthy heiress hires Marlowe to find her ex-lover, who has disappeared without trace. The investigator sets off on his search and gradually unravels a mysterious story. Unknowingly, he gets caught in the crossfire of an influential family that will stop at nothing. In his tense neo-noir thriller MARLOWE, director Neil Jordan brings Raymond Chandler's titular novel character to life. While Liam Neeson plays the tough detective, Diane Kruger impresses as the femme fatale.
