This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminal rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasise action over psychological aspects. Central topics of these films includes serial killers/murders, robberies, chases, shoot-outs, hoists and double crosses.
The conventions that we need to think of using if we decide to choose Crime as our sub-genre are:
- Suspenseful account of failed or successful crimes
- Features- murder/robbery/shoot outs/double cross/scenarios
- Can glorify the rise and fall of a criminal- often based on real people
- Set in a large crowded cities to provide the viewer with an insight to a secret world
- Characters have an ambitious desire for success or recognition
- Rivalry between binary opposite characters is strong
- Many locations - seedy & interior settings
