	Crime and Gangster Films
		Crime stories in this genre often highlight the life of a crime figure or a crime's victim(s).
		Crime plots also include questions such as how the criminal will be apprehended by police, private eyes, special agents or lawful authorities, or mysteries such as who stole the valued object.
		Often from poor immigrant families, gangster characters often fall prey to crime in the pursuit of wealth, status, and material possessions (clothes and cars), because all other "normal" avenues to the top are unavailable to them.

		Crime novels have been popular in more than 150 years, not only because of the novels capability to keep the reader in breathless suspense.

		We often tend to see popular themes in thrillers, like political thrillers, the cold war in the 70’s, and often thriller’s tends to be near science fiction.

	: IKONEN : Rezension Noir Thriller Stiglegger
		How do British and American noir thrillers relate to their historical contexts?’ As mentioned elsewhere - secondary literature about noir is legion by today’s standards - the noir phenomenon mainly appears in times of social crisis and depression.
		Noir broke the boundaries of the conventional crime thriller and moved towards science fiction (Philip K. Dick’s ‘Blade Runner’-Story, 238; James G. Ballard, 246) and gothic horror (William Hjortsberg, 232).
		Finally this basic exploration is recommended as a handbook for anyone with deeper interest in classical as well as modern crime fiction, and it may be of use for the audience of the noir and neo-noir cinema for exploring its official sources of inspiration.

	Spike Lee's latest is a smart crime thriller - Entertainment
		Spike Lee's films have always forced their audiences to question the true motivations of all the characters, be they hero, villain or victim.
		Which is not to say that "Inside Man" is otherwise a predictable and routine heist film.
		Through moral ambiguity (whose side is the audience supposed to root for, anyway?), steadily growing mystery and humor, the film certainly manages to stand out amongst Hollywood's shameless barrage of mundane crime thrillers.

	Hong Kong crime thriller steals Hollywood thunder - Washington Weekend - The Washington Times, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		With a style owing more to stateside thriller specialist Michael Mann than countryman John Woo, director Johnny To puts a fresh spin on the Hong Kong crime genre with his scalding caper Breaking News, new from Palm Pictures Home Entertainment ($19.95).
		Opening with a breathless seven-minute tracking shot that recalls Orson Welles' "Touch of Evil," the film depicts a blown police stakeout that erupts in a wild gun battle between a quintet of fleeing gangsters and a horde of confused cops.
		Director To succeeds in blending bursts of kinetic action with deft character sketches and acid-tipped jabs at both journalists and police bureaucrats who are more interested in self-aggrandizement than public safety.
