This book is a collection of essays and reviews from SIGHT AND SOUND that cover the Big Loud Action Movies of the Nineties. There is some repetition, and some of the pieces fail, but on the whole, I enjoyed this book.I enjoyed it because it offered intelligent commentary on movies like "Last of the Mohicans," "Heat" (with DeNiro and Pacino), "Silence of the Lambs," "Titanic," "Hook," "Saving Private Ryan," etc. In other words, movies that I had seen. I appreciated that someone found something intelligent to say about these films, instead of acting as if the only Nineties movies worth seeing were Iranian. I look forward to futher Sight and Sound genre volumes, and I wish that Sight and Sound were more available in the USA.
