Being born in 1983, "The Maltese Falcon" proves to be a tricky movie to review. Obviously the movie is great, but I find it tough to review because is was so monumental at the time (and still to this day) and changed how many movies are made. Since I was not around in 1941, I could not experience the grandeur of "The Maltese Falcon" when it initially hit the scene.
Beyond the cultural impact of this movie, I like it because there is a very interesting plot surrounding a very mysterious object. I continually give these types of mystery-thrillers positive reviews and this movie may very well be one of the best.
The ending of this movie really makes you look back at everything that transpired and really makes you think of the movie as a whole in a very different light. On the surface it is just about some greedy people trying to obtain something very valuable. If we look deeper, it shows human ambition and the chasing of a dream.
Beyond the wonderful story that this movie tells, "The Maltese Falcon" hits a home run with the acting, characters, set, and lighting.
"The Maltese Falcon" is definitely a must see.
