Antagonist Comparison

Our thriller opening consists of two antagonists who are out to kill the protagonist because of his desire to do the same to them. This can also be compared to the film Taken as the terrorist group who play the antagonists in that film are in an incredibly similar position. They have performed their act of terrorism and have made an enemy on the way. Upon the discovery of this enemy they direct their attention to attempting to kill him. Our opening consists of a similar story that involves them making an enemy who aims to get revenge and therefore they have to kill him, however similarly to Taken, which is no easy task.

A notable difference between the two is the fact that the antagonists in Taken have something belonging to the protagonist that they do not want to lose. In our thriller this is not the case. Therefore the antagonists in our film are in a more powerful position because they have nothing to lose unlike the antagonists in Taken.
