New. Since the early days of film, the representation of masculinity has changed considerably. In the beginning, men instinctively knew right from wrong. They rode to the rescue and saved the day in the nick of time to the admiration and gratitude of society. But over the decades, heroes have evolved from being larger than life and infallible to being cynical, washed up, unwanted outsiders. Violent content in these films also "evolved"-from fistfights and gunplay to brutal attacks and nuclear explosions-repeatedly ramping up in frequency, intensity, and graphic depictions. But there is more to a violent film genre than violence, and Blood, Guns, and Testosterone: Action Films, Audiences, and a Thirst for Violence brings an entirely new understanding to the nature of such entertainment.

Far from causing real life violence, the book demonstrates that entertainment violence has important social, political, and psychological roles in modern society.
