For FUSION, the publication of my friends at AIER, I wrote about the generation of Christmas action movies written & sometimes directed by Shane Black, the writer of Lethal Weapon. It’s also a story of the downfall of the leading men—from Mel Gibson & Bruce Willis to Val Kilmer & Robert Downey, Jr. to Russell Crowe & Ryan Gosling. There should be another couple for the 2020s, but I don’t know what might be. There are no more heroes!
