Crime Thriller - Resevoir Dogs



How Reservoir Dogs meets all the conventions of a crime thriller.

Suspenseful account of successful or failed crimes
In the trailer we see the protagonists taking about robbing a bank and we see them highjacking a car, this tells us that they are generally experts and get away with their crimes.

Features:
Murders - We see characters shooting at police and other people a lot.
Robberies - Protagonists seen robbing a bank.
Shoot-outs - The whole clip mainly involves shooting.

Glorify the rise and fall of the criminal
promotes the protagonists and the music makes it out to be a positive thing.

We see the setting in a large crowded city and we see many clips of hideouts

All the protagonists seek to commit the perfect crime.

We see rivalry between the police and criminals possibly showing a personal grudge. Also small possible rivalry between protagonists.

Mainly abandoned warehouses and streets.
