When David J. Moore’s The Good, The Tough, and The Deadly: Action Movies & Stars 1960s-Present showed up, we could hear the sound of it dropping onto the stoop from the other side of the building. It’s a veritable tome much like Moore’s prior book, World Gone Wild: A Survivor’s Guide to Post-Apocalyptic Movies, this is the size and heft of a college textbook.
However, the content is by no means as dry as what you’d find in your standard college reader. Filled with reviews, interviews, and commentary, The Good, The Tough, and The Deadly covers each and every film, actor, and director you could hope for, along with dozens (if not hundreds) you’ve never heard of, but will feel the need to track down the instant you read about them.
Part of the book’s appeal is due to the fact that unlike World Gone Wild the reviews aren’t tackled by Moore alone.
