## Summary

The article ranks six neo-noir films released since 2010, arguing that the genre’s dark crime stories still work in a modern setting shaped by phones, cameras and the news media. It highlights films ranging from comic detective capers to grim revenge dramas, with characters whose poor choices and troubled motives drive the stories.

The supplied text describes *The Nice Guys*, *Nightcrawler* and *Blue Ruin*. In *The Nice Guys*, private investigators played by Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe search for a missing girl in 1977 Los Angeles; *Nightcrawler* follows Jake Gyllenhaal as a crime-scene cameraman who sells increasingly disturbing footage to local television; and *Blue Ruin* centres on a drifter’s inept attempt to avenge his parents. The article notes that *The Nice Guys* performed poorly at the box office, while *Blue Ruin* premiered at Cannes and won a critics’ prize.
