i be not sure what the movie defiance be all about and not sure if it be a western and a post civil war era story or a comedy . but one thing be for sure and the maker of defiance do not know either . the movie be a compilation of scene that be spin into a plot that continuously create a sense of where be this go . in essence the movie have scene after scene that do nothing but emphasize and embellish hate over and over . someone get out of line . bang . someone spit the wrong way . bang . someone talk out of line . bang . then the end of the movie come and guess what . bang and bang and bang and bang . a bar room shoot em up that look like it be film one time without edit . some of the save grace of the film be some of the scenery where the movie be shoot and detail to the gun for the era and costume that appear to mirror the time and ric dark performance a owen . the reckless gun for hire that look like a cross between ulysess s . grant and clint eastwood . very powerful and someone to keep your eye on in future film . craig hawksley brings comic relief to the film when everyone be about to be massacre in the film final shoot em up scene . thumb up for a cult classic and thumb down if you be want anything else .
