Hero -
Antihero elements, Getaway driver, Saves the girl but is the bad guy/ brutal killer, Psycho rage
Fairy-tale elements
Characters expected - hero, villain, princess, Fighting ‘bad guys’, Following on a journey , The villains are killed
Non fairy-tale elements
The ending- they don’t end up together, Nothing noble about the style of fighting , Violence in the film, Gruesome but believable in places, Range of weapons
The city (setting) LA
Not many people around , In driving scenes roads seem empty, References to grand theft auto in certain shots of the city
Music
Soundtrack, 80’s music , Italian opera song ( doesnt fit the scene) , ‘hero’ song towards the end, Romantic music in the lift- self reflexitive (elevator lights change which shows it’s a film)
Ending
Not satisfactory ending for viewers , He doesn’t take the money or get the girl, Audience wanted it to be more conclusive
Dialogue
Very little dialogue , The kid barely speaks throughout the film, Monotone voices , Reference to spaghetti western films
