The thriller I have chosen to write about is Harry Brown. I find it really interesting and engaging to watch. The movies use of tension makes it thrilling as we see the protagonist (retired marine Harry Brown) trying to hunt down the gang leader who killed his best friend. The building up to this he also faces druggies and gang members, which ends up in a dramatic scene of bloody violence that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It contains all the main conventions of a thriller…
Disaster: Harry’s best friend dies.
Tension: lead up to the final scene and other major events in the film.
Suspense
Mystery
Urban settings: Part of the setting used was in Marks Gate estate.
A villain who drives the plot (Ben Drew/ Plan B)
The police
Excitement
The leading role is played by Michael Caine who is a Legend in acting and plays the role brilliantly.
The whole film is set in dark lighting that gives it a dull, run down and spooky look throughout and much of it is set at night. There are also many direct shots on different objects which alert the viewer throughout the film and make it a brilliant thriller.
