Another noir film which I have watched is The Usual Suspects. This is perhaps my favourite noir film that I have seen so far, including both traditional and neo noir. There was not a point throughout this film where I was not completely immersed and focused on the film. The film had a great story and one of the best endings I have seen in a film of any genre.
Ascetically this film is similar to Brick with much of the film being set in day and the whole film being in black and white. This film did feel less like a noir than Brick and much less than The Third Man. It had a very mysterious story and a detective, even if the detective was used in an unusual way. The film felt like it was lacking in conventions of noir film. This said the film is still a neo noir film and has an a amazing story with a fantastic twist and it does still feel somewhat like a neo noir film.
