Review of Defendor (2009) by Jeffrey L — 25 May 2010
Forget Watchmen. Forget Kick Ass. This is a REAL look at what would happen is someone decided to dress up as a superhero and try to fight crime. In this movie, a mentally-unstabled, delusional grown man is convinced he's an invincible superhero named Defendor and that it's up to him to rid the city of its crime and non-existent super villain Captain Industry.
The movie is both hilarious and depressing at the exact same time as we get an inside look at a very sad, disturbed, man and at what happens when he doesn't get the professional help he needs. Despite thinking he's invincible, he keeps landing himself in trouble time after time, ending up in the hospital and in jail more times in a week then most people in a lifetime. And the role is played to perfection by Woody Harrelson, alongside a very great cast that all do excellent jobs with the roles they are given.
Diffinitly check this movie out if you're a fan of either superhero movies or character dramas as this is a very good mix of both.
