5 Thriller Films
The Godfather
The Great Escape
Jaws
Hotel Rwanda
Terminator 2- Judgement Day: This is the film out of the five that I have seen. It is a good example of the definition I have provided above. It is fast paced with lots of gun action throughout. And a, in theory less powerful hero who uses his resources well against a more powerful superhero who is made of liquid metal a substance described by the hero in the movie as ‘Indestructible’. The plans of the villain are to destroy the main character, John Connor, a character who is set to lead the human race to a close fought victory against their Scynet computer counterparts. The is basically about the liquid metal villain robots failed attempts to destroy John Connor. The film finishes with a last gasp battle between the good and bad robots which following the outdated corny Thriller theme results in the Indestructible robot being melted in a big pot of molten liquid. Who would have guessed?!!!!
