Film Analysis

I will compare the film transporter to ours as it is similar and the same genre, action thriller.

This is a link to the first scene http://youtube.com/watch?v=8qcMQ7Db5ag

Ex special forces operator Frank Martin lives what seems to be a quite life along the french mediterainian, hiring himself out as a mercenary "transporter" who moves goods from once place to another for a price and no questions asked. Although this package is different from the rest, it is a person and forgetting all his rules he opens the package to find a girl gagged in his boot. The first opening scene starts calm with hardly any action at all. Just Frank getting in his car and driving. This is like our opening scene to our film, it is calm when the characters are just driving along having a conversation about going to the pub and it has nothing to do with the main plot. This is like transporter because you cannot tell what is happening, going to happen or what the main plot of the story is, leaves the person watching wondering what is going to happen next. Transporter has the girl in the boot of the car tied up helplessly, like our movie, although in our film the girl dies and the main characters have to deal with the consequences and what to do next. Both films have similar qualities with the action thriller genre, the ambience at the start of the scene and waiting to find out what will unfold later on in the story.
