For some, noir – with tough guys in fedoras – is very “masculine.” But noir denounces machismo as much as it defends it. #KansasCityConfidential is a world of heightened masculinity, where violence is a form of self-expression that cops rely on as much as crooks. #TheNoirCollective #FrightClub

I'd love to see a noir pastiche Point Break prequel set in the 50s featuring a Regan actor mask clad their with their crime partner wearing a chimp mask as Bonzo!

In #KansasCityConfidential, Tijuana & Borados are liminal spaces where identity can be hidden or adopted, and masks and torn cards are currency.

Before Affleck's crew put on nun masks in The Town, #KansasCityConfidential (1952) had robbers so masked they didn't even know each other. Same armored-car heist DNA, same question: what happens after the job?

The Dark Knight (2008) iconic opening bank heist sequence, featuring the Joker and his clown-masked crew, operates on the exact DNA of #KansasCityConfidential, where a group of strangers executes a robbery for a hidden mastermind who intends to double-cross them.

In Heat (’95), Michael Mann drew heavy stylistic and philosophical inspiration from Jean-Pierre Melville’s French noir classic Le Samouraï (1967) and #KansasCityConfidential, both stylistically and in the use of masks.

In Point Break (’91), just as the #KansasCityConfidential hoods wore creepy matching masks to hide their identities, Bodhi's crew wears "Ex-Presidents" rubber masks.
