Reviews

Film-school students will no doubt embrace the book for its detailed analysis of the tropes of the genre. Overall it's a solid, well-researched study. Booklist 20100101 This fascinating book makes a substantial contribution to our knowledge and understanding of audiences for one area which has been substantially under-researched: the tradition of action films from the 1960s onwards...[We] found this a really valuable contribution to the field of audience research,, and highly recommend it.
