Crime and Action sub-genres

Conventions of a Crime sub genre:

      Crime thrillers are a popular type of thriller, these thrillers include dramatic crimes, failed or successful, that have been committed.
      They normally always include, car chases, murders, robberies and shootouts.
      These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasise action over psychological aspects.
      Popular crime thrillers are: No Country for Old Men, Reservoir Dogs, and Hostage.



No Country for Old Men


No Country for Old Men
was a extremely successful
crime thriller and was directed
by Joel and Ethan Coen,
it grossed $74,283,000 and
95% of reviews given by
critics were positive.





Action thriller:

      The Action genre is regularly accompanied with Thrillers to create an very exciting, dramatic and heart racing film. The fact that there is a story line with twists and thrills throughout - along with action packed fights, car chases and explosions create the perfect "thrill".
      One example of a Action Thriller is James Bond: Quantum of Solace.
This is another very high grossing and popular action thriller film, James Bond films have been legendarily famous for its opening sequences that separate it from other films of the same sub genre.
