From the very beginning of this opening scene you are engrossed. I feel that this is due to the lack of suspense as the audience is expecting the shot to change to a different location, instead of a big glass smashing from an unpredicted area of the screen. The music holds a quick pulse which suggests that there is a mission ahead.
The director has purposely decided to hide the faces of the bank robbers, leaving facial features and facial expressions out of the picture. This suggests that the robbers are worthless and their identity is not necessary, especially as they are each being killed one by one.
From the middle of the opening scene a non-diegetic ticking sound begins to play a part in the scene, this sub consciously makes the audience feel that a saviour is on its way and the criminals must depart. But instead the criminals get away in a very smooth and unobvious manner, which frustrates the audience consequently ticking a box for a thriller characteristic, as it invites the audience into the movie with their own emotions
