D. Ryan Mowry's DEFECTIVE MAN! contains all the TROMA and LOW BUDGET PICTURES elements a fan could want: adult humor, comic book style hijinx, nudity, and absurdity... all while managing to find it's own voice and sense of humor.


Paul Alsing, Defective Man himself, has the comic sensibility of Joel D Wynkoop (Dirty Cop No Donut, Truth or Dare, The Uh-Oh Show, and Brainjacked). Bringing this vibrant, over the top character to life without feeling forced or stiff.


TROMA regular Trent Haaga almost steals the show as motivational speaker Ronny Tobins, and the films villain Hevvy Flo's partner in crime. What turns out to be more than just a cameo, Haaga's character has more screen time than said antagonist. Giving a series of inspirational seminars, these scenes are filled with Haaga's natural energy, comedic timing, and natural charm.


The character of Hevvy Flo is brought to life by actress Haylee Nelson. Nelson has some of the funniest, and memorable lines in the film. While this may be her first feature film, Mowry was able to get a great performance without leaving the audience feeling like they were watching a freshmen to acting. I for one look forward to seeing where she goes in her career, and the diversity I'm sure she is capable of.


Spolier alert: Notable to fans of Low Budget Pictures, Billy Garberina (Terror at Blood Far Lake, Taintlight, and Deathbone) also makes a cameo as The President of New Mexico. Chris Seaver himself is given a special thanks for creating the character in the end credits.


There are a few other surprises in store for the audience in the film, and bonus features on the DVD.


While the film has a few technical issues involving audio and lighting, I felt they were so minor that they were so minimal most viewers will not even notice them. Besides, the film itself is so consistently funny and entertaining that you will be too occupied with the story and characters to take note.


Overall, Mowry's first venture into feature films is a complete success. DEFECTIVE MAN! packs the goods that any low budget, comedy aficionado hungers for. Hopefully this film will find distribution soon and be presented to the masses.
