'Brooklyn Rules' is an action thriller, with the first 5 minutes of the film set in 1972. The film begins with a black screen and church bells can be heard in the background. There is an echo of a priest speaking to the congregation. The opening shot is of a colourful statue Jesus Christ. The next scene is of a much more cloudy evening shot of the brooklyn bridge. The shots at the bridge are ment to show crime, whilst the church is of harmony. As the film switches between the two, it creates a comparison asking the audience where would they prefer to be?
Another give away of the location is the New York accent. This is where many thrillers are set, including 'Unthinkable' and 'Se7en'. We see plenty of disturbances of the hamony in the opening scenes of 'Brooklyn Rules'. The first is when a child steals from a catholic church, the second is when a man is found dead sat in a car. He has a bullet wound on his forehead. The disturbance of peace here is that he is sound in a lush and green forest. In the back of the car is a puppy trapped in a box. This is a warning of suffering for what will happen later on in the film.
