Blade Runner, and especially Blade Runner 2049 are examples of Crypto-Christian Noir, the themes are there at least.
They’re far from perfect, but they’re a good starting point.
“The detective with a shady and dark past takes a case that changes him so deeply he lays down his life for a poor stranger” kinda tale always hits hard.
“The Hitman who’s owned by a criminal organization (sinful world) wants out but can’t find a savior” would be a beautiful and tear jerking story reminiscent of the ‘Neo-Babylon’ or ‘Neo-Egypt’ we find ourselves in today.
Also, while not Noir exactly, something like Hacksaw Ridge is another example of a heavy and hard-hitting Christian story in the midst of so much sin and darkness.
