10 Greatest Noir Westerns, Ranked

What’s better than a film noir and a Western? Yeah, a noir Western. The difference between these distinct genres and their combination lies in some skilled genre-blending—in plain Westerns, the protagonist is usually heroic and a representative of the law and all things good, whilein noir films, all the characters are a lot more morally complex and nuanced. A morally ambiguous lone wolf sounds like a compelling protagonist, which is why noir Westerns make for an interesting type of film.
