Rain smiley not really appropriate but it's as near to noir as we have.
I suppose could fit quite well too.

To be honest the only films I consider proper Noir are the '40s-'60s US crime thrillers of the classic era, anything else just isn't 'Noir' to me (a few notable exceptions aside). I've seen people make cases for films such as Drive and Pulp Fiction as Noir and whilst I can certainly see how the influences have shaped films from the current era, I just don't see them as Noir.
