The long good bye

Out of all the movies we watched by Robert Altman, the Long good bye had to be the best one for sure.. It had it all action, comedy, and Marlowe is just awesome.. So anyway this movie reminds me of Crank (2006) by Bryan Taylor, cause its sort of the same as the long good bye, in that its just one badass guy like Marlowe, in Crank its Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) who is also a badass.. anyway story has sort of the same plot, main character searching for an answer, in Crank its more of a cure, and in the end both characters sort of find their answer, and they deal with it. Marlowe kills Terry, and Chev kills a bunch of Triads or what ever they were in the movie. There a lot of sort of characteristics shared between the main characters, like the i dont really care about you or anything else for that matter, and the kind of lone wolf, laid back attitude, its pretty sweet, makes for a good movie..

That's an interesting comparison of Crank and the Long Goodbye. They have very similar plots and main characters. I'll agree that Marilowe was a great character. I also liked the bad ass mentality Marilowe has. I thought it was also interesting how Marilowe was so out of place and the different ways he dealt with it.
