not every black + white crime drama is film noir


it's like i say, see?

reply

Um - yeah! What ever you say ... I guess. However I'm calling this film noir, due to its appearance and content which emphasizes cynical attitudes and sexual motivations of many of the characters. 🐭

Yeah, this film was film noir, for the simple fact that it presents a bunch of mean, vicious thugs trapping a bunch of people for their own evil purposes, and then they're all trapped in a desperate situation in which they're running out of time to get out of. Pretty good low-budget film with surprisingly good acting from mostly unknown actors---to me anyway.
