A scholarly analysis of Hollywood’s (and America’s) love affair with crime films, and the complex, contradictory messages they send (crime does not pay, crime is heroic and glamorous, etc.), and what the genre says about American society: Do we crave law and order, or do we admire rebels and rule-breakers? Do we actually want both to exist in some carefully balanced tension that goes back at least to the Old West? Leitch writes in a very straightforward, easy-to-read style.
