I believe our film would be based more around the neo noir approach to film making as opposed to the traditional noirs of the 40s and 50s. This modern take may therefore attract a younger audience, while the deep psychological analysis of the main character could draw in those of a more intellectual nature. Also modern day censorship is much more slack than it ws, allowing for more realistically gory or unpleasant scenes. I believe this would put our ideal viewer at the age of 18 to mid 20s, most probably university student looking for a break from studies due to the intellectual nature of these films.
The stylistic features of noir such as a dark city, interrogation style scenes and the femme fatale character would mean our target viewer would most likely be male.
This viewer may also have a darker side themselves, and listen to rock or heavy music. They may also have an interest in books as they allow the imagination to create the story and allow for very detailed analysis, also many early noirs were adapted from novels.

This is what I imagine a member of our target audience would look like.
