I also, for some reason, never quite thought of it as neo-noir, rather it's own thing. Although I think of Blood Simple as Noir... I will have to try and catch it again.<BR/><BR/>I love the fact that Red Harvest can become so many films. I actually enjoyed Last Man Standing though I had trepidations going in. <BR/><BR/>Good to hear from you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199981339240227463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21723978.post-50569488430148826962007-06-29T10:04:00.000-04:002007-06-29T10:04:00.000-04:00The noir-homage tour de force for the last 2 decad...The noir-homage tour de force for the last 2 decades, really, is Miller's Crossing by the Coens. My favorite film of all time. How's this one stand up to that dialogue? <BR/><BR/>Of course, the Coens are cribbing from Red Harvest by Hammett, which is the inspiration for Yojimbo by Kurosawa, Fistful of Dollars by Leone, and Last Man Standing. But still, I'm intrigued about Brick. I saw a preview before some movie last year before I left the States and I've wanted to see it ever since...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624271114891098929noreply@blogger.com
