Well the Oxford Dictionaries defines it as " A novel, play, or film with an exciting plot, typically involving crime or espionage" and I agree. A thriller can contain many things, horror, action even a comedy. I believe that they are all like sub genres. Inception is a great example of a thriller with lots of action, we can tell this straight away from the trailer:
One of the more recent thrillers that I've watched that has a similar combination of genres (thriller and action) is Lucy. This film only got a 6.5/10 on IMDB but I found it to be a great film, very exciting and thrilling. There were some slower parts to the film which didn't have that much action but it was still building tension which is what I'd expect from this film, a good balance of tension and action. Here is the trailer for Lucy.
The Riot Club is a good example of a thriller with less action, but still very thrilling (mostly towards the end). Which can also make a great film, I personally prefer a thriller with more action.
