<<Also, Marlowe's character is flippant on the surface,
but with deeper "issues" going on within. Keitel plays his
parts with almost excruciating sincerity and earnestness; I
can't see him delivering a performance as a flippant
wise-ass.>>
Marlowe is not a flippant wise-ass. He just got written that
way. Let's not make the son pay for the sins of his
father.
I see a problem in putting a Chandlerian wisecracker on
screen today. It's quite hard to do without making a retro
movie.
Best,
