Being someone who grew up loving and watching movies, I can honestly say there are few actors, where most of their movies were good. In fact, for the most part, most actors I have watched up to this day, barely make 50% their films to be decent. One of the most iconic performers of our time, Denzel Washington, is around that 50^th percentile, and I can count on my hands and toes, how many movies I loved him in. Some actors, even in their short time around, exceeded this threshold, and did so exceedingly well.

One of those actors that I still admire to this day is Raul Julia, an actor, who some might recognize, most would know from the Addams Family movies, but truthfully most of his work exceeded the quality of actors who have lived longer definitely one that was gone too soon. Some actors, just retire from the business such as Sean Connery and Gene Hackman, whose stature, work and portrayals are stoic and endearing. One of the last movies I remember seeing Gene Hackman in, that was decent, not good, but watchable, was Behind Enemy Lines an action movie starring Owen Wilson, as a pilot caught in a hairy situation. So, when I read about Buck Danny: Night Of The Serpent, which is both current and sentimental.

In this book, a pilot doing a routine patrol crosses the demilitarized zone leaving South Korea and entering North Korea, and instantly on the run. This sis where Colonel Buck Danny and his wingmen come into play, thy must quietly find he pilot and get him back into allied territory. They plan a full-on assault mission, combined sea land and air forces to rescue the pilot. By book’s end, with the unexpected help from a total stranger, they rescue the pilot, with unintended damage along the way.

Overall, an exciting book, which is heavily researched, entertaining and action packed. The story by Francis Bergese is fun, dramatic and heart pumping fast at time. The art by Bergese is simply stunning. Altogether, a military thriller that will have the reader wanting to see some of those old WWII films.
