Crime + Action Thriller Conventions

The crime and action genre is a hybrid of both crime films and thrillers. These often offer a suspenseful account of a crime or multiple crimes, whether or not they are successful is another question.

These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a investigators/police and usually emphasise action over psychological aspects. 

Crime and Action Content: 
- Serial killers/murders
- Robberies
- Chases
- Shootouts
- Heists 
- Double-crosses

An example of a crime thriller is Seven, produced in 1995. This film is about two detectives, a rookie and a veteran who go on a hunt for a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his modus. operandi.
