“Bestselling novelist and Baltimore Sun movie critic Stephen Hunter (Dirty White Boys) writes well and vividly about movies, which is reason enough to consider picking up this anthology of his reviews and essays, dating back to 1982. A self-professed gun enthusiast, Hunter seems particularly well attuned to the outlaw attitudes so prevalent in the post-Tarantino period of cinema we're currently moving through… Don't be fooled by the title and the introduction's attempts to position this book as a commentary on the hot button issue of movie violence; Violent Screen is a solid collection from a working journalist, not an ideological screed like Michael Medved's Hollywood vs. America--and that's all to the good.”-- BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
