Mafia is like cancer: there is no cure for it, they say Defenderin the final film of the trilogy. Or maybe it can still be defeated? In any case, director Antoine Fuqua is trying (at least on screen) to bring justice to the people most in need and to cleanse the world of the filth called synthetic dog shit: it is the drug that ruins our children’s lives, often forever. .
