When the death of a local mob boss leaves a power vacuum, a lieutenant moves to seize his own piece of the pie.
Phenomenal acting, great writing; good all around. Let's see where this one goes.

A police officer dates a single mom and ends up becoming a vigilante to be the guardian of someone else's kid.
While it's watchable, bad neo-noir is bad.

John Wick returns to alternately ruin and end his friends lives in the hopes of leveraging an obscure rule to free himself from .. whatever their assassins society is called.
It's adequate, but has nowhere near equality: I think one unimportant woman dies on-screen and then the body vanishes, another gets hurt, and this has to be the most brutally misandrist movie I've ever seen. Feminist approved!

The son of a criminal boss strikes a deal that goes bad, and veteran muscle becomes embroiled in the mess.
It's standard fare; nothing particularly interesting, but if you like this sort of thing then it's perfectly watchable.

A player advances through an illegal hyper-real virtual reality combat game.
Artistic, slow and bad.
This is more sepia than black-and-white.
TO GET - The director's cut doesn't have the opening spoiler narration.

A man, waking with no memories and thought to be a serial killer, flees his pursuers and not only learns he isn't who they think he is, but they aren't who they think they are either.
A fantastic movie.. at no point was I bored. To me, this one of the foundations of a particular movie style. It isn't that it's whatever kind of "neo-noir" but that it tells a tale about reality itself.
