	Author	Review
United States	Tim Grierson LA Weekly	"Although Harrelson displays the right balance of sweetness and quiet instability, Defendor’s genial spirit fails to mesh with the filmmaker’s exploration of darker emotional terrain"	NEU
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Modest but likable effort"	POS
United States	Glenn Whipp Los Angeles Times	"For all its aspirations, the film never meshes into something cohesive or substantial. Its naive earnestness has its charms, but like its title character, Defendor never takes flight."	NEU
Canada	The Globe and Mail	"'Defendor' is more a refreshment of a genre than a transcendence of it. But thanks to Harrelson, you'll be a believer."	POS
