Defiance is an ordinary, honestly made genre movie from the ranks of modern urban variations on the classic western about a man who brings law and order to a city dominated by crime. In comparison with other films in this category, Defiance is more sedate and tries to take a more realistic and less delirious approach. However, it firmly adheres to the formulas and simply pushes its blandly drawn characters smoothly through typical situations to the expected climax. Defiance is noteworthy only as an obvious, modest prototype of Bronson’s Death Wish 3, which translates the characters and peripeties found here into an aggressive, irrationally agit-prop, ultra-conservative fantasy.
