Review of Defendor (2009) by Laurence C — 24 Jun 2010
Defendor is given considerable weight by Harrelson's grounded, three-dimensional portrayal of what might have come across as a complete buffoon. Arthur Poppington instead inspires a bizarre extension of modern day alienation at the center of our superhero-breeding culture, which provides the film an unexpected emotional punch by its conclusion.
Unfortunately, while Defendor succeeds in playing a ridiculous scenario low-key and halting to explore the minds of the two lead characters, it is also as predictable as they come, without mentionning the fact that it isn't particularly funny or suspenseful.
A moderate success, through and through.
