Iconography for Crime Movies
The Iconography in crime movies is always the same, guns add protection to the characters, buildings are always a safe haven for the characters but usually turn into a scene of a shootout or killing, cars are greatly used throughout the genre as they provide means of escape. There are always police in crime films; in some films police have no impact on the story line if there are two groups of villains. In all films there is always a reward, in crime films the reward is usually a package, the reward is generally gained by one group stealing of another individual or group.
