Cliffhangers

Cliffhangers are sometimes, not always used, often features the protagonist in a precarious or difficult dilemma, or confronted with a shocking revelation. This can entice the audience to keep watching in order to see how the situation resolves itself.

Example Film: 'The Italian Job' [1969] (a literal cliffhanger) gives us, the audience a witty example of a cliffhanger in it's famous ending, however it is not exactly, strictly speaking a thriller, but it has the conventional device of a thriller.
