I have to say this was one of the harder movies to get through that we watched in class. It is a mystery, but the only mystery to me is how I managed to stay awake. I'm not saying it's bad necessarily, but I didn't particularly enjoy it.
This convaluted story begins when a beuatiful woman by the name of Miss Wanderly comes to the Spade and Archer detective agency. By that night Miles Archer is dead, and so is the man Miss Wanderly hired him to tail. She is surrounded by dangerous men. Her only hope for protection comes from Sam Spade and even he is a suspect for one murder or the other. More murders and even more twists are yet to come as the hunt for the Maltese Falcon continues. The biggest mystery of all is which side Sam Spade is really on...
As a mystery it's supposed to keep you guessing, only revealing things later on. It did this but I found myself not caring to hear the answer to the questions. I didn't get drawn into the story at all. I'm not sure what they could have done to fix this. The fault is probably with me, not the film because it's rated highly everywhere I look and I haven't readanything negative about it. All I know is that I had a hard time paying attention and had to look on the computer to remember what happened.
When thinking about this film nothing sticks out for something I liked. One thing I can think of happened near the end but I can't talk about it without revealing part of the ending.
*SPOILER ALERT*
I like how Sam Spade isn't actually crooked, and just makes a bad reputation for himself to make it easier to deal with criminals. I wouldn't recomend watching this movie, I'm positive you have better things to do with your time. Try reading a book, learning a new skill, or talking to your grandparents-gauranteed to bring you more gratification.
