Neo Noir is simply modern versions of the Film Noir genre. It is usually filmed in a modern location, along with modern characters and issues of our current society. Neo Noir still follows traditional noir conventions and qualities. They are just more about things we are familiar with because we live in today's society.
The best Neo Noir I've seen is a 2005 film called Brick. The film is about a high school murder detective and evolves around characters between the age of 17-25. The setting is mostly in or abround the school grounds and the costume is a very 50s style (much like Grease). It is a very thrilling narrative and is shot very uniquely. The film as a whole is great. The Femme Fatale character, in this film, is very interesting. Dressed in the typical Femme Fatale costume of fur, scarves and boots, feathers and flowers in her hair, her youth did not deprive her from being a very good representation of the original Femme Fatale. 
Her seductive behaviour to gain power and desire was very true to her character. Her talking manner was also in a very low and soft key which depicted her mysteriousness and concealed her true character at all times.

Despite the cast being a group of young teenagers, their character was played to such perfection, you'd never doubt who they were trying to portray. Brenden's character was always the same - witiness with humour and always determined to find what he was looking for.
