Monsieur Spade (2024) Miniseries starring Clive Owen as an aged Sam Spade (the protagonist of the Maltese Falcon) in a quaint little town in provincial France. Set in the early 60s, he ends up in some shenanigans. Im a big fan of hard-boiled detective fiction and was hoping this turned out great, but was disappointed once more. Owen has a few wisecracks, but he isnt like the Sam Spade of the book, nor is he like Humphrey Bogart in the movie. The whole story is also a convoluted mess full of plot holes, and the fish out of water thingy just doesnt work. The deus ex machina ending was awful. Rating: 4/10
