Certainly more subtle and nuanced than Miller. Compare
CHANDLER/RED RAIN to SIN CITY.

Or THE DARK KNIGHT, which got some stuff right, but most of
it wrong. And took too many pages to do it in. It was in your
face just to be in your face.
YEAR ONE is the only thing that's impressed me from Miller in
years. Owen will have his work cut out for him.
And yeah, there's nothing wrong with "over the top." But
Marlowe isn't really an "over the top" kinda guy.
On the other hand, Miller would be perfect to helm a Mike
Hammer film. It would be nice if someone made a really good
one, finally.
(I'm not sure who the slick doofus in the sports car with the
briefcase and the bomb was, but it certainly wasn't Mike
Hammer).
