Fast and Furious 6 (2013)
Enigma/Hermeneutic codes: There are many enigma codes during this movie, we tend to find out important and shocking information towards the ending of the film. For example the false hero is revealed, this builds the audience's suspense and thrills throughout the film by questioning the characters.
Action codes: Fast 6 is packed with action codes. Guns are triggered throughout making it obvious to the audience a scene of violence and a fight/battle is approaching. Also, when we hear or see an engine roaring we know a car race will be taking place soon after.
Multi strand narrative: This is the sixth fast and furious, therefore the movie has follow ups and the story continues to develop.
Non-linear pattern: The film is in non-chronological order.
