Genre and Conventions

18, ActionThriller - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0936501/
A thriller provides the sudden rush of excitement, and exhilaration that drive the narrative, sometimes subtly with peaks and lulls, sometimes at a constant, breakneck pace. It keeps the audience on the "edge of their seats", akin to the sensation of hanging from a cliff, as the plot builds towards a climaxLiterary devices such as red herringsplot twists, and cliffhangers are used extensively. A thriller is usually a villain-driven plot, whereby he or she presents obstacles that the protagonist must overcome. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_(genre)

Paris - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0936501/locations
The film with its unique action and fast-paced style may be put together for audience consternation and entertainment, but the information behind it is the news of the sex trade that hurts victims and their families that is real. - http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/267290
