THE DEFENDER (Dolph Lundgren, 2004)

Dolph's directorial debut was filming 20 years ago...!

I remeber it like yesterday:)

Watched it again last night. It holds quite well. A few mishap here and there, but overall a solid debut, with nice framing and artistic choices and good acting.
Not to go into politics, but I remember that 22 years ago (!!!) I found the idea of casting Jerry Springer as president was ludicrous and preposterous....I stand corrected now

It did sound silly but he actually gave a decent performance as the president...
And yes, in today's United States, anything is possible...
At the time I was more worried that the plot sounded like Dolph vs Ben Laden...

As for Dolph as a director it's solid and I think one of his best, he had great technicians and it looks like a much bigger budget than CASTLE FALLS or WANTED MAN.
