I think it's pretty hard to write a hardboiled style noir now days without it feeling derivative. The tropes are now cliches and the dialogue can be cumbersome and hokey.
A lot of time it feels like someone imitating noir rather than innovating with the genre and that's sad.
You can undoubtedly do it and I'd love to see some examples of a great modern noir to read.
