Well it would be consistent with Noir's long-running doomed "couple on the run" theme.....

  1. They Live By Night (1949)
  2. Gun Crazy (1949)
  3. Bonnie & Clyde (1967) - Some say Noir, some say not.

For that I might classify it as Neo-Noir. I hated the movie though. Like "Sin City", there was too much cruelty and violence for my tastes.

The Robert Downey Jr. "Ace in the Hole" angle is interesting. It's been a while since I've seen the movie.
