A Thriller of My Choice

A Thriller that I have decided to analyse in my own time is Inside Man. This is a film starring Clive Owen, Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster and many others. The story line is that Clive Owen and his team have come up with the perfect way to carry out a bank robbery. Denzel Washington acts as a police officer and has been assigned to the case. The way the film operates is very good, as the opening scene is showing the end, and throughout the film it is showing how they got to that stage, so it is playing it back to the audience. Throughout the film, it keeps skipping from present tense to past tense, which is very effective in this case. The suspense and shock is built up throughout the film which keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. On top of this, there are a few action/fighting scenes which also work well on keeping the audience focused. As well as excellent action and thrilling scenes, the actual story line is very good. Clive Owen claims he is going to walk out the front door of the bank with the money right at the start of the film, which creates suspense throughout the whole film. This is because the audience want to know if he is actually going to do what he says. This movie has every conversion of a Thriller, involving everything from Red Herrings and Cliff hangers, to Sub-genres and Complex characters. There is also a major plot twist towards the end of the film which also helps to create that edge-of-seat feeling.
