Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Our Man in Havana: An Introduction by Christopher Hitchens in Books
Sep 8, 2017
There are plenty of twists and turns in this spy novel about a simple vacuum merchant turned spy for the British government in Cuba. His friend, a German doctor is suspected of being more than he is. There are plenty of assassination plots in this novel on top of escaping dangerous situations involving corrupt cops.
My only gripe is the fact how quickly the salesman was able to grasp being a detective without any training, so it seems a little implausible. Fun, but no Brighton Rock.
David McK (3832 KP) rated Spider-Noir in TV
Jul 5, 2026 (Updated Jul 5, 2026)
Nic Cage starring live action of Spider-Noir, available to view in either full-colour or authentic black-and-white, as a detective in the 1930s who also happens to be New Yorks one and only superhero, before giving up the latter following the death of his fiancee years earlier than this is set.
This is thus a mixture of detective work, pulling heavily from the detective noir (it's in the title, folks) of the 40s and 50s, as well as some body horror (the episode where it flashes back to how he got his powers) and a new take on some familiar foes (most noticeably, to me, Flint Marko aka Sandman).
Definitely well worth a watch!
