One early 90s film to check out is China Moon. Stars Ed Harris, Charles Dance and Madeline Stowe; three of Hollywood's best. Very much a modern noir, similar to Body Heat. Fantastic atmosphere via locations and the score. Highly recommended to noir fans. |
The 1990 remake has absolutely nothing on the brilliant original. If you haven't seen the 1952 Film you owe it to yourself to do so. Definitely one of the best of the genre. Listen to the commentary track as well and hear about just well regarded this film is by film noir enthusiasts.
Comparing it to its remake is like trying to compare Kiss of Death to its remake or Psycho to its.
