The versatile actor (who dons a much different uniform in The Messenger, an Iraq War — related drama opening here later this month) is the principal reason to see Defendor,
an engaging social satire that doesn't quite pay off.
Filled to the brim with cheeky
social commentary, this is one of those rare action films that hits you heavy with
satire, while also
engaging you on the surface level with an intriguing story and a strong visceral dynamic.
