Well idk if I would say that, it was just a classic trope. Noir is very much alive and defined by not having any “good” charcters, just lots of shades of gray quasi heroes. “Nightcralwer”, “Emily the Criminal” and “Girl with the dragon tattoo” movies are great examples of modern noir. That trope is just dated, but also still used in sci-fi like Blade Runner.

Can I throw in Brick by Rian Johnson as a (somewhat) modern noir? Great movie.
I thought Gyllenhaal’s character was pretty detestable as a protagonist.
I was kidding also
Oh sorry lol, I just really like noir and will take any reason to gush.
And yeah, he was a horrible monster, I loved every second. 😂
