Are they the same as the script? Any changes?
Once watching the opening scene, the opening credits are all the same as the script says but the first scene should show him booking into a hotel for the night and having something to eat. The directors seem to have cut that scene and started the film straight off into meeting the hitmen
Does the script portray what you expect to see in the film?
Yes apart from some changes it still generally stays along the same lines as you read in the script.
What is their name?
As the script goes on you find out their names are Jerry, Carl and Grimsrud
What type of words describes this person?
Jerry comes in and you can see he knows what he wants and how he wants it done with no hiccups, he’s very confident in front of Carl and Grimsrud, 2 people he has never met before. Carl seems to know what he’s doing but I think he’s only landed such a big job by chance and Grimsrud didn’t say much I think he’s more of a bodyguard figure to Carl.
Can you tell from this sequence the role of this character? I.e. are they a protagonist/Antagonist?
You can’t really tell if any of the characters are protagonists, but you can see an antagonist beginning to form in Carl.
How do you know this?
From first appearances and impressions. Not to much is given away at the beginning.

Thriller
What does the word ‘thriller’ mean?
Every film that has been made will have been classed into a genre, mainly so the audience can pick the film they want depending on whether they wish to view a romantic comedy, sci-fi, thriller etc. Although thriller is a genre it is normal classed with another film genre such as an action/adventure thriller, romantic thriller, sci-fi thriller or even a western thriller. Thrillers often take place wholly or partly in exotic settings such as foreign cities, deserts, polar regions, or high seas. All thrillers have the plot of trying to intensify excitement, have you on the edge of your seat with anticipation, leave you in nerve- wrecking suspense and ultimatly to expect the unexpected. If the genre is to be defined strictly, a genuine thriller is a film that rentlessly pursues a single-minded goal - to provide thrills and keep the audience cliff-hanging at the 'edge of their seats' as the plot builds towards a climax. The tension usually arises when the main character is placed in a menacing situation or mystery, or an escape or dangerous mission from which escape seems impossible.
According to www.IMBD.com these are the best thriller films ever made:
The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather: Part II (1974)
Rear Window (1954)
No Country for Old Men (2007)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
The Usual Suspects (1995)
Psycho (1960)
North by Northwest (1959)
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Fight Club (1999)
