One of my favourite thrillers is Die Hard 3. I like it because it presents impossible situations, and a lot of action. It really keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat. Also the character played by Samuel Jackson (Zeus) is just a normal bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time. He gets swept right into the middle of a massive terrorist plot hosted by the elusive 'Simon' (Jeremy Irons), who also bears a grudge against the main character John McClane (Bruce Willis).
One of the most helpless situations in the movie is the scene with the bomb on the Subway train. In a situation like that, any normal person would panic, and if the bomb went off almost certainly die. This makes us put ourselves in that situation mentally, and builds tension. Another thing in that scene that builds tension is when he is holding the bomb, the fact we don't know when it could go off. Also Simon said if someone interferes with the bomb, it would go off.
