Like many recent Ritchie movies, this one has a lot of frenetic action, a fair amount of spectacle, some cheeky dialogue, and a hefty dose of machismo.

The movie does not do Philip Marlowe a disservice but neither does it successfully re-invent the character for a new era and its attendant audience.

Works well enough as a popcorn flick that doesn’t demand much in the way of concentration and is a better fit for at-home viewing than watching in a theater.

Not good enough to transcend the limitations of the genre but it’s a passably enjoyable throwback to the heyday of rom-coms.

Although the lead character’s arc is troubled and conflicted, the ending makes her seem more like a superhero than the material warrants.
