Tough Guys

Powered by larger-than-life icons and packed with gruff, memorable one-liners, these movies feature characters who follow their own code of ethics in order to "take care of business," whether for good or ill. Spanning a number of genres -- detective stories, action thrillers, war films, westerns, and so on -- they all have one thing in common: aggressive, determined, stoic heroes.
