Just like the french animated film "Renaissance" and "Sin City", this movie tries to be a revival of the classic film noir films. However, it feels more like a John Woo film (Or like anime movies as Golgo 13) rather than a classic movie of detectives, mostly because the story is way over the top, and filled with lots of gratuitous violence, nudity and sex. And talking about that...The sex scenes of this film are pretty awkward, mostly because the animation isn't very good, and the characters had robotic appearances and movements. There are moments of this film that are so exaggerated and melodramatic that this ends being a bit silly and ludicrous.
Despite that, "Film Noir" was somewhat entertaining albeit a bit predictable and cheesy at some parts. It was interesting to see animated films aimed to an adult audience, but as I said before "Renaissance" was a much better film, and also, it had a much better animation than "Film Noir".
