our pitch for thriller film

Narrative description:
Crime goes wrong, it escalates with two gangs getting involved, small group (3-4 people) tries to take them on and resolve the crime. Opening sequence is infact the final scene, man has just been shot looks like it is the only other person in the room, but was someone else - then flashback to the beginning.
opening sequence - credits with gunshot into first scene then flashback with title appearing on screen.

throughout the film it seems like a gang war however at the end of the film it is revealed that the small group of people have resolved the crime.

Subgenres:
Mystery Crime thriller
Mystery conventions:
Suspense films where characters attempt solving, or involved in, a mystery. Examples of these films include, Memento, Fightplan, The Number 23 and Shutter Island.
Crime Conventions:
This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasise action over psychological aspects. Central topics of these films include serial killers/murders,robberies, chases, shootouts, heists and double-crosses. Some examples of crime thrillers involving murderers include, Seven, A Perfect Murder, No Country for Old Men, Firewall, Hostage and Silence of the Lambs.
