dolph first direct effort and the defender and be a nice little action piece . grant and the movie be low budget and but there be enough enthusiasm and excitement to make it worthwhile . the russian specialist and aka the mechanik and a it should be call while be a distinct step up for dolph . his direction be incredibly assure for someone who only direct one other movie . i would not go into story specific here because everybody already know what this about . however and i will go into the production and performance . dolph have change a an actor . he mature and he confident in his skin . that be half the battle and and he win bigtime . ben cross be the comedy relief or dramatic brit . he one of the film well asset . the rest of the performer be more than adequate . the villain in particular and be slimy and nasty . it a good thing theyre slaughter in such a brutal fashion . the script for this film and while hardly original and be pretty good for low budget fare like this . it push all the right button at the right time . the dialog be also quite good . dolph and the director and be in very good form . his style be loose and fluid . think tony scott meet john woo and youre on the right track . the score by elia cmiral be haunt when it need to be and tense when the crap hit the fan . which bring u to the action set piece . although theyre not numerous and the action scene be well do and violent . dolph pull no punch with this flick . the deaths come fast and hard and furious . overall and this little film be quite good . i eagerly await the next dolph film . to those who have not check out this film and the defender and i recommend you do so .
