Influences & references:
-'The Bank Job' is a film about a strong female character breaking the law and creating schemes and planning very carefully. In this film money is equal to power which is also a very strong theme in our film.
- 'The Big Sleep' is a film produced in 1946 and shows that money being proportional to power is a typical convention in film noir. Lauren Bacall is a femme fatale who uses sex to her advantage just like our female protagonist will.
- Angelina Jolie in 'Tomb Raider' was also influential as she plays a very dominant female role who is portrayed as very sexy.
