Ranging from \u003ci\u003eJSA- Joint Security Area (Gondonggeonygbi guyeok) (2000)\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003ePolite Society\u003c\/i\u003e (2023), they consider the changing modes of action cinema, with streaming assuming global importance and an ever-increasing number of generic blends. They consider under-explored areas of action film, particularly how race, ethnicity, gender, and age figure in narratives and through image and soundtracks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Overall, the book demonstrates how 21st century action cinema engages with and reflects geopolitical, creative, and industrial developments.
