The opening sequence of the film 'Fraction' introduces the main character, a mixed-race male detective. Scenes cut between the detective arriving at a crime scene where a crowd has gathered, and a distorted male in a small, confined bloody space covered with newspaper clippings. When the detective examines the body bag, he sees it contains his own face, but then realizes it is actually a woman inside. The sequence uses conventions of the thriller genre like a detective character and disturbing visuals, but subverts expectations by making the protagonist and antagonist the same person.
