Terry Staunton Radio Times Lundgren doesn't give his actors much instruction beyond getting them to stand rigid and recite dialogue awash with half-baked homilies. Rated: 1/4 Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

William D This is a good film that everyone will enjoy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie,action packed Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Good directorial debut of Dolph Lundgren, fun little action flick, better than Seagal's recent stuff. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a bad directorial debut from big Dolph, with plenty of drama and action only marred slightly by its stars and pace. Still, worth the watch if you come across it... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member DVD-cover lies. They didn't use silencers in the movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The Defender Is Dolph Lundgren's Directional Debut, & From The Start You Can See That He Has A Great Talent For Directing B-Movie Actioneers. In This Film Lundgren Leads A Small Group Of Secret Service, That Becomes Trapped In A Building After They Are Attacked. A Decent Story, With A Good Script & A Somewhat Decent Performance From Jerry Springer. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
