You won't be disappointed!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

This film was certainly a disappointment. I like Woody Harrelson as an actor, and I liked the idea of him playing some kind of weird vigilante character. I also was please to hear it was Canadian. But sadly, it was a total let down for me.It should be said that Harrelson gives a pretty good performance. The only thing is, his character is seriously mentally unstable, but in a way that isn't really likable or interesting. He just seems like an idiot. Harrelson plays it well, but I wish he had been a more likable character. Kat Dennings plays a hooker who Harrelson gets involved with. While I actually kind of liked her when it came to the banter between characters, I don't think shes able to deliver when it comes to the more emotionally demanding scenes.This movie is a black comedy, and while I think that genre can be done really well (i.e. American Psycho), it can also often be a mess. It's really hard to blend two very differing tones in a film, and that's what dark comedy is all about. Blending serious drama and comedy. But I just don't think it works in this case. It can be occasionally funny, but for the majority of the time it comes across jumbled. I also found something stale about the way it was shot and the directing. The fight scenes have zero spice to them, and there's never really anything visually appealing. It's a real shame.I couldn't really recommend this film. Nothing really stand out, and I guess that's its biggest crime. Not that it's terrible, but its just really average. Nothing bores me more than a film that is super average.

It seems like barely a day goes by without Hollywood releasing a comic book movie of some kind. The popularity of Batman and Co. has never been higher and it's perfectly understandable that Tinseltown wants to cash in. But what if you're becoming bored of the same old stories told every year, with only a change in costume to differentiate between them? Fear not, for those of you that are feeling comic book fatigue, there is a new hero on the streets; and his name is Defendor. Defendor follows the story of Arthur Poppington, played by Woody Harrelson. Arthur is an average Joe by day, but at night he transforms into the costumed vigilante, Defendor. In fact, he doesn't so much transform, as pull on a black t-shirt with a makeshift 'D' made out of duct tape; with black eye makeup and a bicycle helmet finishing the look. It's a far cry from Batman, but it works perfectly.The story is actually pretty standard comic book fare, as Defendor decides to take on a notorious kingpin in an effort to clean up the streets. It isn't groundbreaking by any stretch, but it doesn't need to be because the character of Arthur/Defendor is so enthralling that you find yourself overlooking the slightly clichéd nature of the plot. The fact that Defendor is an extremely low budget crime fighter also allows for some great little touches- just watch how he uses lime juice in his quest against crime.At the heart of all this is Woody Harrelson's fantastic portrayal of Arthur; a man who clearly has some form of learning disability, even though it is never alluded to directly. Harrelson makes the viewer immediately sympathetic and, as the movie shifts from comedy to drama in the final third, he finds a depth to the character which isn't apparent from the beginning. Kat Dennings and Micheal Kelly provide ample support as a friendly prostitute and Arthur's best friend but this is clearly Harrelson's show; and he is having a ball.A sadly overlooked gem. Defendor is a welcome respite from the recent glut of super serious superheroes. A shift in tone towards the end provides the movie with a little more substance than originally thought and it is all the better for it.

I'm really not interested in writing a review here. This movie is an experience. People...just watch it. Hats off to the indie studios of Hollywood. They produce these gems of movies. PS: Found out that this movie is produced by Darius Films. Great going Darius Films.PPS: OK, after writing the above comments, I tried to post it and IMDb will not allow it saying it is too short. This is exactly the antithesis to an unconventional movie like this. IMDb, hope this unnecessary comment fulfills your "length requirement". Please don't enforce stupid rule like this.

You might know Woody Harrelson from Zombieland The Hunger Games. (Or maybe Cheers? That was before my time.) But behind his gruff persona is just a guy who doesn't like the people who killed his mother. And he's out to get Captain Industry, no matter the cost.There wasn't much exposition or explanation about what was happening or why, but it's almost like it wasn't needed. It's hard to sympathize with him at first, but once you're told his back story you'll root for him until the end. Kat Dennings was wonderful, and her character arc was surprisingly thorough.While the description said that Sandra Oh's character was a focal point of the movie, she wasn't. The movie is mainly about the relationships between Harrelson and Dennings and Harrelson and Michael Kelly. It's not much of a comedy either; it's much too dark and dramatic to be.But it's wholly worth watching if you're a fan of Kick-Ass or Harrelson.
