They must use their intellect and social grace to uncover the truth, often while being pursued by both the criminals and the law, leading to a series of close calls and ingenious solutions before a final, satisfying confrontation.
Why they belong together: Movies are grouped here for their shared focus on a specific type of hero: the suave, intelligent rogue.

The pacing is typically fast, driven by the cat-and-mouse game, and the tone remains tense yet buoyed by the protagonist's unflappable confidence.
