Broken City

  • It's a political thriller film, and also a neo-noir film. The reliable sources are here . See WP:RS.--Beta Lohman (talk) 14:30, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
    • The lead for a film should only list its primary genre or subgenre (WP:FILMLEAD), and this should be based on what genres are most commonly used in the sources. Three genres in the lead seems excessive, especially when the ones you mention are rarely used in the sources, and none of the sources put them together in that way. Looking through the sources in the current article, "drama" seems to be by far the most commonly used genre, followed by "thriller" and then "crime". "Neo-noir" is not used in any of the sources, although "noir" is used in a few, including one that says a "noir-style drama" and the source that you cited above from NPR which describes it as a "modern-day noir" in prose and a "undernourished noir" in the headline, but lists its genre in the article as "Crime, Drama". "Mystery" is also used in a few sources, as well as "action". "Political thriller" is used in one source, and "political crime thriller" is used in one other. I think either "drama" or "thriller" is most appropriate, although I think "crime thriller" would also be appropriate. "Political thriller" seems fairly similar to "crime thriller", but "neo-noir" is definitely not used frequently or directly enough in the sources to be included in the lead. If you want to discuss this further, then please use the article's talk page so that other interested editors can be aware of the discussion, rather than on my user talk page. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 19:41, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
