Review of The Big Sleep (1946) by Nico S — 27 Sep 2016
Humphrey Bogart oozes with confidence and wit, so that's a plus, and his chemistry with Lauren Bacall helps a lot. The dialogue in general is snappy, and the performances are all around good. Seriously though, I've yet to see a classic noir film that blows me away.
I'm not a fan of the typically convoluted plots these types of flicks contain, which usually adds to me feeling bored most of the time. I didn't hate The Big Sleep, it just didn't engross me, so I'll keep waiting for that noir classic that fires on all cylinders for me, subjectively.
