Check out the original (or one of the original) American noirs "I wake up screaming" while not a rock 'em sock 'em shoot 'em up, it is well paced and well cast, in particular one of my favorite actors who is not well known, the huge and mellifluous Laird Cregar.

A hard-to-find noir, which I haven't seen all the way through, is "The Trap" or "The Baited Trap" which has Richard Widmark as the GOOD guy, for a change (somewhat corrupted, but not clean through)and Lee J Cobb as the baddie, natch. I just remember one classic line from it and I've been looking for the movie ever since. Lee J Cobb kidnaps this girl, and as she realizes it as the car drives away with them in the back seat, she gets mad at Lee and screams at him: "how much do you want? When will you have enough?" He looks back at her smiles and says: "How Much IS There?"
