Antagonist Comparison




Our thriller opening consists of a protagonist, an ex-cop and antagonists in the form of a whole organisation, which he believes is a terrorist organisation, but is in fact the agency he used to work for.

This is similar to the film Taken as in the film the protagonist is forced to face a criminal organisation in order to protect a loved one, knowing very little about them and are outnumbered by this organisation.

They have committed a grave crime and have made him an enemy as a result, when discovering he is after them they attempt to kill him.

Both adults have a particular developed set of abilities which allow them to remain alive and achieve their mission and this makes them a threat to their enimies. They also both have a strong motivation behind their mission concerning a loved one.


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.
