Case Study...

Crime Thrillers

Crime thrillers are a very popular sub genre within the thriller genre. It usually focuses on the criminal, not the police themselves, and focuses on topics such as serial killers, chases, shootouts, robberies, heists and more. Another feature that differs to other thriller sub genres is that they include more attention on the action aspects rather than the psychological aspects. Some films within the crime sub genre include:

No Country for Old Men: This film is about an ordinary man who is chasing after a fortune that is not his, as three men cross paths with each other in the desert landscape of 1980 Western Texas.


The Asphalt Jungle: In This film, the story is about a group of men planning and performing a jewel robbery. It is considered to be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Rififi: This is a French crime thriller. The story revolves around a burglary at a jewelry shop in the Rue de Rivoli. Four men team together to commit what seems to be an impossible theft.
