Excellent, Thilak.

Film Noir:
Doomed characters.
(as per Thilak's definition) Everything is not as it seems.
Protagonist who gets bounced like a bloody ping pong ball.
Feeling of being trapped (use of bars, fence, gate shadow falling on characters)
basically living in a rotten world.
Behind the already shrunken protagonist lies bigger, evil scheme that he's helpless to do anything about.
Helpless is the key word here.
Crime does not pay, especially if the protagonists involved in it.
There's lots of hate going on (re. some of Robert Mitchum's stuff)
Protagonist is not a happy dude at the climax. Leave that to the westerns.
