Film Noir (which inspired Godard a lot; his 1965 film Alphaville is basically an homage/parody of it) had many of these traits (realistic dialogue, protagonists who weren't 100% good or even antiheroes, endings where the the good guys don't win) -- look at 1940s/1950s movies with Humphrey Bogart or Robert Mitchum.

Specifically, the subgenre Future Noir. See 'How Alphaville (1965) Gave Us Blade Runner (1982) And The Matrix (1999)' [1]

Future noir it's just cyberpunk since its conception.

Blade Runner it's film noir in the future, and Neuromancer it's a hardboiled mistery book with computers.

It has sense, a lot of pulp writers wrote both mystery and sci-fi booklets under diferent aliases, and a lot of plots were recycled by changing the setting.

Yep, I immediately thought of "SUNSET BLVD." as a counter example. Even "The 400 Blows" predates Godard in French New-Wave.
