Down these mean streets.

I love old film noirs, movies without heroes, where everyone is a flawed bastard in their own right. The women are lovely femme fattales, and pack as much of a punch as their male counterparts, and are offten much deadlier. They have soft sultry voices, and eyes that ensnare you, and their prey. The men, even the "good guys" are very rarely good guys, they are flawed, violent, and bitter, they are more believable. And 99% of film noirs have that sad ending where neither the hero or the villian ever get what they want, and more than likely one of them is dead. There is no uplifing end to A touch of evil, and that is why i love that movie.
