12P2 31 Homework - Action and Crime Sub Genres

This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of crime(s), whether or not they are successful. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasise action over psychological aspects, for example, Resevoir Dogs. Central topics of these films include serial killers/murders, robberies, chases, shootouts, heists and double-crosses.

Some examples of crime thrillers involving murderers include:

Seven
 
No Country for Old Men


Examples of crime thrillers involving heists or robberies includes:
 Ocean's 11

Entrapment
