Are Action film cliches and conventions changed depending on the country they were made in?


Above the poster for District 13:Ultimatum which is an action film but it is French, it is based on a man from the government manipulating events so that he can destroy 5 tower blocks which house 5 different gangs, and a police man and his criminal friend, gang up to help stop this from happening. 


Above is the poster for the film The Tournament, which is also an action film but it is British, it is based on the gathering of the worlds best assassins, where they fight and kill each other to win a large amount of money, this is all caught on video cameras and relayed back to a boardroom like room with extremely wealthy people in who bet on who they think is going to survive and win.

In conclusion, I have found that there is no change in conventions and cliches when the country was made in a foreign country. When analysing the French film there were lots of cliches but only one wasnt in the British film and when analysing the British film there was only four cliches and conventions which aren't in the french film, therefore due to the fact only a few cliches and conventions wernt in both films, that the cliches for the Action film genre do not change depending on the country the film is made in.
