Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that “Marlowe” is now available to purchase or rent on Premium Video On Demand (PVOD) through online retailers like Vudu at the standard pricing rate for most studio films ($19.99 to rent and $24.99 to buy). The movie will also hit Blu-ray and DVD on April 18, 2023, but will remain available to buy in both high definition and standard definition from digital retailers thereafter.
As for streaming? “Marlowe” was distributed theatrically by Open Road Films, which has also released such Liam Neeson action vehicles as “Honest Thief,” “The Marksman,” and “Memory” in recent years. Because Open Road Films+ isn’t a thing (… yet), it’s a little tricky to say when Neil Jordan’s noir flick will make its way onto a regular streamer with any real certainty. Of course, if you’re willing to wait until the film hits Blu-ray in April, the price of a digital rental or purchase will have dropped significantly by then.
The official “Marlowe” synopsis reads as follows:
Set in late 1930s Bay City, “Marlowe” centers around a street-wise, down on his luck detective; Philip Marlowe (Liam Neeson), who is hired to find the ex-lover of a glamorous heiress (Diane Kruger), daughter of a well-known movie star (Jessica Lange). The disappearance unearths a web of lies, and soon Marlowe is involved in a dangerous, deadly investigation where everyone involved has something to hide.
