In Reply to: "Collateral": film noir 2004? posted by njjohn on December 20, 2004 at 19:06:39:
While I thought Collateral was surprisingly good, its not really film noir in the traditional sense. One of the primary ingrediants in film noir is the presenece of a woman who inevitably leads the (male) protagonist to ruin. As you mentioned Body Heat, consider the role of Kathleen Turner in that movie. She seduces William Hurt and eventually gets him to participate in her scheme to kill her rich husband. And as it the case in most film noir, the protagonist does not realize that he is being manipulated by the seductress.
