I think, for me, that's the difference between hardboiled and
noir. I think noir deals with motivation. Action adventure
can be hardboiled, but straight run-em-down-and-shoot-em-up
is not noir, in my opinion. On the other hand, I prefer to
learn about the characters through their actions, than by
what they or the author says about them.
