Neo-noir is a modern take on "classic noir" which was at it's peak from 1940s to the late 1950s. The updated genre borrows what it can from film noir: hard-boiled stories, protagonists, themes and darkly lit visuals – and leaves behind what it cannot associate from the popular culture of a different historical era .
Although the films are 36 years apart, they share similar film conventions. Both are crime films that deal with a social, psychological and aesthetic response to the sense of anxiety, alienation and disillusionment of their age, and both express the dark side of the human nature. Both films also contain a manhunt that forms the dramatic and psychological action.
