noir thriller
Shadowy crime fiction
A noir thriller is a crime story steeped in moral ambiguity, cynicism, and atmospheric darkness.
The genre features morally compromised protagonists, femmes fatales, and plots driven by betrayal and obsession—often set against rain-slicked urban streets or shadowy interiors.
The film was a classic noir thriller with a detective who couldn't trust anyone, including himself.
