Review of The Big Sleep (1946) by Ashley H — 21 Jun 2014
It has way too many characters and the plot can get confusing and overly detailed, but The Big Sleep rests solely on Humphrey Bogart's shoulders who gives his typically smartass, strong performance, also helping a lot in the humor which is observant and quite vigorous.
Having in mind all that and that there are well executed action sequences, fast pacing and sophisticated, very smart dialogue in abundance, this noir film succeeds on many levels.
