Review of Defendor (2009) by Kieran G — 24 May 2013
As much as I wanted to like this film I just couldn't bring myself to invest, the character's are more often awkward and not, and while each scene by itself certainly holds it's own, the entire film just doesn't gel in a way that lends itself to a truly successful film .
. the pacing is more often right than wrong, but one can tell this project was more of a personal endeavor, but when things go from dark comedy to darker comedy, I was surprised to say the least, because I was thinking this would be more of a satire, when it's actually more realistic than I would have liked, and not in a violent or sexual way, but just dealing with the darker sides of heroism in a way that became not too funny anymore .
. worth a watch, but I warn you this is nothing like 'kick-ass' or similar 'regular-joe-dons-mask-and-cape-to-take-down-bad-guys' .. I could never really figure out whether he was more sane or insane and I was too distracted by Harrelson's wooden often one-note performance .
