May be not a movie, but as TV show: Leverage.

Some of the posters mentioned this a little while back so i got the seasons and I really like it. Maybe not Noir or Cyberpunk, but a Pro-Group of Thieves pulling exceptional heists.

I highly recommend!
Chaos? Lack of protection? Enemies lurking in the shadows? Sounds
to me like the fun’s just beginning. Sorry you’ll miss it, omae.

Unfortunately, most games I've seen start like Ghost in the Shell and end up a lot more Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.

As a follower of neither movie, what exactly are you saying?  They start out stealth and end up run-and-gun?
Remember, you don't have to kill the vehicle to stop it, just kill the guy driving it.

Starts with carefully laid out, almost para-military, operations using high tech equipment with a spec-ops level of professionalism... Ends with total SNAFU leaving a dozen or so dead of their own idiocy or plans that backfired, and the players close out the mission sitting around a table in a bar having barely made it out alive with little to nothing to show for it. Meanwhile, someone else is benefiting greatly from the events.

The bank robbery shootout in Heat is so realistic the Marine DIs show it at boot camp.

Another reason for me to watch that movie again when I can watch movies.

The Dirty Dozen, more of merc-ey feel, but it plays out like a shadowrun.
Bringing chaos, mayhem, and occasionally cookies to the Sixth World since 2052!

Aeon Flux and Ultraviolet, while 'slightly' over the top, have a bit of a shadowrun feel to them. And I'd add Enter the Dragon to the list.

I know they're video games but assassins creed, and syndicate both have that SR feel in my opinion

For a pink mohawk campaign, Tank Girl. Nomad punks with tanks in the Australian Outback, anyone?

My husband was putting a tank girl character together a little ways back, rippers are easy enough to stat though. Beyond Thunderdome has a lot of outfit ideas that SciFi artists are still using today.
