How are they similar?
Taken and our Thriller have similar plot lines as they are both about a male protagonist who search for their missing daughter.

What have you changed
The only difference is that in Taken the father knows that his daughter has been kidnapped where as in our thriller the father is aware that his daughter is dead and he wants to find out the reason for her death, and the events of the night that his son died to cause the death of his daughter.

Dexter
First Episode Date: October 1, 2006
Created by: James Manos Jr.
Main Actor: Michael C. Hall
Studio: Show time Networks
How are they similar?
Dexter is a crime based TV Film, focusing on a male protagonist, which is similar to our film as the protagonist investigates the crime scene in which his son died, which then caused his daughter to die. Dexter, like our protagonist, has a profession that requires him to investigate crimes. They are similar, as they are portrayed as the good guys at first however, they are both discovered to be murderers. They both kill in revenge.
What have you changed?
The differences are found in the fact that my thriller is a film, where as Dexter is a TV show, as well as the fact even though they are both murderers, dexter kills several people and does it to previous murderers who have gotten away with their crime, where as my main character only kills the girl responsible for the death of his children.


CSI
First Episode Date: October 6, 2000
Creator: Anthony E. Zuiker, Anne Donahue
Main Actor: Georgie Eads
Studio: Jerry Bruckheimer Films
How are they similar?
Both CSI and my thriller follow the crime thriller genre. They both include murderers and investigations that lead to missing people or dead.
What have you changed?
Firstly, CSI is a TV show where as ours is a film, this can be quite a difference seeing as though there is much more to include in a TV show rather than a film. There is also only one story line in my thriller, where as in CSI they have several different crime investigations going on at different times as well as them dealing with many different characters and situations.

Prisoners
Date: September 18, 2013
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Main Actor: Hugh Jackman
Studio: Warner Brothers, Alcon Entertainment
How are they similar?
Both films include a male protagonist who investigate how and why their daughter has gone missing. They both provide a thrilling aspect as well as a means of sympathy as we see the sensitive side of the males as they break down because they have lost their daughter.
What have you change?
They differ as in Prisoners, the male character does not know whether or not his daughter is alive, where as in my thriller, the male character is aware of the death of his daughter, however he does not know what led to her death.
