Movie Review help please:)?

So for a movie review I chose to do A Mighty Heart.


Watched the movie twice and now I have to answer the following question:


"State 5 conventions (standard or formulaic ingredients) of the genre that the movie uses."


The main genre of the movie is a docu-drama, and by watching it it can be broken down to both genre's of Biopic and Thriller.


I need conventions of a thriller/biopic, and have already looked at the site www.filmsite.org and it didnt really help. The one convention i already have is Injustice-%26gt;religious intolerance.


Could somebody please help me come up with a few more or reccomend a site that explaings each sub genre with a bit more information.


Thanks.
