Review of The Big Sleep

The Big Sleep (1946)
it's entertaining, but dont even think about understanding it
10 April 2001
Wow, was this movie confusing or what? I think it's probably harder to understand than Mission Impossible. But its still an alright film. I mean, sure plot is important, but you can get the gist of whats going on without knowing everybodys name. There are plenty of cool scenes and captivating action moments. This detective-film noir classic has more action than most do, and its a good thing because it needs it. This is no Double Indemnity or Out of The Past. Plot is its weakest point. The way things are filmed is its strongest. And both Bogart and Bacall are very very good here. So it's worth seeing, because its kind of fun, but i think i might have to see it five more times to understand it. God, there were a lot of names to remember.
