Searching for neo-noir films now turns up all sorts of confusing, thin (at times, extremely stretched) results. As Noirvember wraps up, our justbrizigs found 10 modern neo-noirs worth checking out:
was stealthily one of 2020’s best—a small-town take on film noir that toys with noir conventions and the hard-boiled detective archetype. As a 12-year-old, Abe Applebaum was once Willowbrook’s pride and joy, and there wasn’t a case that couldn’t be solved by the town’s resident kid detective. Until he got one that went a bit out of his jurisdiction: Abe’s friend Gracie went missing, and neither he nor the cops were ever able to solve it.
Based on the Japanese novel of the same name, Nicolas Pesce’s gripping erotic noir finds a one night stand between an unstable sex worker and a serial killer. Looking to satiate his overwhelming bloodlust, husband and father Reed checks into a hotel and hires a call girl to easily do away with. But his meticulously planned evening quickly goes off the rails upon her arrival, as the woman he hired has instead been replaced.
Crooked cops Brett Ridgeman and Anthony Lurasetti are suspended without pay, following a leaked video of them using excessive force when confronting a suspect. It’s not the first time they’ve had trouble playing by the albeit loose rules given to the police, but they chalk their penalty up to the latent scourge of “wokeness.” With both of them desperately hard up for cash, the pair team up to rob a professional thief.
