The Five Elements in a Thriller
Robert McKee, screenwriter guru, as quoted in the New Yorker Magazine, October 20th, 2003:
'...five elements without which a thriller was probably not a thriller: cheap surprise; a false ending; the protagonist shown to be a victim; a speech made in praise of the villan; and a hero-at-the-mercy-of -the-villan scene."
Actors be advised of the demands on an actor in performing a 'thriller'.
