Default Marlowe is not Ever Woke

OK, so this new Hollywood pile ain't Marlowe but AppleTV's "Sugar" is trying to be just that. The lead is Colin Farrell, who has done some decent work, as "Sugar" a super detective with an ocean of empathy for the downtrodden. The story meanders around with various internal/external conflicts overshadowing the plot.

I probably wouldn't be complaining so much if the "assistant chick" didn't press him to take a "famous gun" (2" M&P) and he proceeds to proclaim "I hate guns" while opening and "Hollywood flicking" said piece closed multiple times.

You've been warned, an hour of life cannot be retrieved. Joe

It's supposed to be a "crime drama." I was hoping for "Reacher with a Fedora." Joe

I seem to recall Jim Rockford saying, “I hate guns.”

Haven’t seen any of that yet. Another hypocrite that “hates guns” while fattening his wallet using them. Joe

Maybe that's why it only gets a 3 star rating out of 5. ?????

A very slow-moving film, almost boring.

Why? I don't keep up with the gossip rags.

Robin Hood is about the oldest plot theme in theater. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Marlowe is aimed at the average viewer. There are plenty of other movies for you.
