Maybe I'm being peer group pressured into that four stars. I like Elliot Gould as Marlowe, I think that works. I love the use of soundtrack - overlapping dialogue and radio. I love the little quirks like the security guard who impersonates movie stars.
Sterling Hayden and Mark Rydell are stunningly good in their parts. Rydell is terrifying - it's a shame he doesn't get a come uppance/resolution. Nina Van Pallandt and the guy who plays Terry Lennox are more variable.
I didn't mind the finale - I totally got why Gould did it. It's better than being a little sook.
Arnie is in it.
