Film Noir Taglines

I am going to look at a number of different taglines from various film noir posters, to see if they share common themes and similar wording. When it comes to creating my own poster and teaser trailer it will be important to have taglines as it helps link them together as well as indicating to audience what genre the film belongs to.

1. Deadly is the Female

2. Killers

3. Big Sleep

4. Kiss me Deadly

5. Double Indemnity 

6. The Dark Night Rises

7. Insomnia

8. Reservoir Dogs

9. Usual Suspects

10. Drive

11. Blade Runner 

12. Fargo

I found lots of similarities between the taglines. For example a few of them includes to do with crime, such as "murder", "killers" and "crime" itself. Some mention the obstacle of the narrative without giving too much of the story away, for instance "now they all fear each other" and "man has made his match...now it's his problem".
