Trance, a more sophiticated British Crime Film.

'Though it rings ever so slightly hollow as cool shades into callousness, this exercise in sexy suspense and brain-scrambling mystery is a dazzling, absorbing entertainment which shows off Danny Boyle’s mastery of complex storytelling and black, black humour.'


This is a review from Empire magazine and the trailer will show how different this film is to the others I have been focusing on as its main focus is neither 'Geezers' or new wave urban crime. This has its own style although involving thugs it is not the films main theme as with many British urban films, our main character for once is a true protagonist rarely seen in British film, particularly Urban Crime. For example in Kidulthood our protagonist tortures someone, in Snatch Mikey (although out of revenge) kills the cockney gangsters. This is often because of the British tendency to lean towards realism however Trance differs as it brings a certain amount of pseudoscience to the film. However it still carries a certain amount of the British Crime genre in it allowing for an interesting and entertaining viewing experience. I believe its target market must have been wider than films such as Bullet Boy for example.
