Somebody brought up John Woo's name in the discussion of
French crime films. Yes, "The Killer" was heavily influenced
by le samourai. Woo's own work is, I think, often heavily
"noirish" and atmospheric, especially in my favorite movie of
his, Bullet in the Head. Ringo Lam's City on Fire is pretty
good in this regard, too.
Of course, Hong Kong has released countless numbers of gritty
crime/triad dramas, too.
