It was a good read. The surplus you spoke of which was absent in the film adaptation you might find out in yet another shooting scene of Breathless. It's a film questioning all the predictabilities you spoke of and exists in the surpluses of being, rather than being bound by the conventions of a "noir plot", no matter how it does please us, and in fact, there's a scene in the film where Belmondo( the killer, the lead) looks at a poster of Bogart( Hollywood noir protagonist) as if a admirer of his. The film is all the criticisms you had and you are really going to like it, if you haven't already.
Yeah. They do. They do. But don't you think the problem you had the one you started with- the disappointment it leads to eventually- don't you think this can be a solution? Breaking the conventions, I mean. For, if we look at a Robert Altman from 1970s, The long goodbye, which definitely was influenced by this notion of break convention policy which I find less predictable, less disappointing and an interestingly unfolding plot.
Well, I'm looking forward to see both the adaptations and the book, ofc, as soon as I get a chance.

I have seen Breathless :)
The conventions of noir do have ample space for these surpluses, just not, I suppose, at the business end of things.
Interestingly, Belmondo starred in a French adaptation of The Burglar, title Le Casse, if I'm not wrong.
