● About this genre
What we mean by "crime"
Crime, for us, is the genre of consequence. Whether the film is a heist, an investigation, a courtroom drama or an underworld portrait, the central question is what happens after the act.
Crime overlaps heavily with thriller and mystery; cross-link rather than duplicate.
