Define
Film noir, which translates into film noir, or film noir theme. The French film critic Nino Frank coined the term for the first time in 1946 when he was reviewing an unknown film. Later, based on the review of film historians and film critics, the definition of film noir was gradually outlined. Nowadays, film noir is mainly used to define and categorize Hollywood crime movies, which contain strong moral and justice characters and sex crime motives. The 1940s to the late 1950s of the last century was recognized as the classic film noir period of Hollywood (classic film noir). The film noir of this period was influenced by German expressionism. The photography technique was mainly to create a low-key black and white color, which created many cautious and tough roles on the American film screen during the Great Depression.
In English, Neo-Noir is a combination of the Greek "Neo" (new, the revival of an old thing) and the French "Noir" (black). It is also the continuation of the "film noir" in the 1950s-- Also known as "Neo-Noir" (Neo-Noir). This type of film is divided into two eras. The first is the new noir film in the 60s and 70s represented by "Rear Window" (1962); the other is from the 80s to the millennium, the Coen brothers, Works by Quentin Lalentino and John Dahl.

The other
25-year-old Jeremy Piven (playing Sailor Freshman on the train), Ari Gold in the HBO TV series Entourage (Emmy for best supporting actor from 2006 to 2008). Also starring John Cusack's friend since high school, so in movies with Cusack, you can see Jeremy in many movies.

    1/4 did not understand. Overall, the movie doesn't really make sense.

    There is still a lot of potential buried in it, looking forward to being picked up for adaptation one day.
