Action Thriller Brief

An action thriller always has a fair amount of violence, and more blood than your average thriller. Weapons and brute force are often used as a way out.
There is lots of fast paced action right from the start, and the manipulation of people and government is not uncommon.
It is usually a high value motive such as money and secrets which causes the narrative.
Contrapuntal and non-diegetic sound is vital to enhance action.
The flaw the character has is unlikely to be physical, it is usually emotional.
The protagonist is usually a traditional action hero who is sometimes framed or mistaken for someone else.
