Charles Bronson Perfected Westerns & War Movies In The Space Of A Single Decade

Charles Bronson was a master of many genres, and he perfected the two genres that defined his career – westerns and war movies – within a single decade. Bronson is one of the most iconic “tough guy” actors in Hollywood history, and he starred in a wide range of different genre films throughout his storied career. Bronson’s career-defining role as Paul Kersey in the Death Wish franchise helped to popularize the vigilante thriller. He played a vengeful Vietnam War veteran in Mr. Majestyk, a Depression-era bare-knuckle boxer in Hard Times, and starred alongside Alain Delon in the French heist film Adieu l’ami.
