William D @Williams0604 12/18/2023 This is a good film that everyone will enjoy. See more 12/09/2020 Great movie,action packed See more 02/22/2014 Good directorial debut of Dolph Lundgren, fun little action flick, better than Seagal's recent stuff. See more 01/24/2014 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... See more 12/30/2012 DVD-cover lies. They didn't use silencers in the movie. See more 08/24/2012 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. See more Read all reviews
