Although largely a Film Noir, I would most probably categorise it as a
caper film, or a heist film as the crux of it centralises around the
planning and execution of a crime. Other Noirs would follow the events
following a crime, such as White Heat did.
Either way, it is excellent. The focus is the heist, as mentioned, and
the lengthy scene is operated in tense silence - as we are. So intent on
hoping the heist go successfully, we dread the moment we know will
happen, the next plot point will alter the crime detrimentally and bring
down the men.
