Blood Diamond is a typical Political thriller as in just the opening 5 minutes we see action and mass murder. This film grasps the audience from the start by using an exillerating chase.
We also see political weakness as a small illegal party are taking over by using violence. As an American based film the audience are shown another culture. The film is based in an African country, educating the audience on different countries and cultural backgrounds. We are shown a plot by an illegal party trying to gain political power in the form of force and violence. Innocent people are dragged into the plot and injured/killed in the process.
Overall, Blood Diamond use a number of typical conventions for the specific sub genre of a 'political thriller' in order to keep the audience interested and grasped into the film.
