Crime Film Poster Analysis 3 - 'King of Thieves'

The third poster I am going to look at is for the crime film 'King of Thieves'.

• the tagline makes reference to the genre, 'heist'
• the title makes a direct reference to the genre ('Thieves')
• the mise-en-scene is typical of the genre - bags of money, smart suits, serious figure behaviour and facial expressions, a vault, a radio
• the sans-serif font is frequently used on posters for the genre
• references other crime films
• stars associated with the genre
