      nick s The start of the movie didn't impress but it got better. Sometimes a little stiff in the acting department. Overall quite entertaining. The story had some nice twists and turns. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Audience Member For those who just read The Maltese Falcon for the The Big Read, and have Netflix, stream the beginning and see if you can name all the characters in the 1st scene before any of them speak a word.
