Nonureva Really Surprised!

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Leofwine_draca DEFENDOR is one of those anti-superhero comedies about normal, everyday figures who don ridiculous costumes and turn vigilante to take crime off the streets. KICK-ASS is the best known of these, and an action film in its own right, but the film that DEFENDOR is most similar to is SUPER. Having seen both, I much preferred SUPER, which was funnier and more satirical. DEFENDOR has a sadness about it in the depiction of a mentally ill Woody Harrelson who is convinced that his destiny is to battle crime. The reliable Elias Koteas gives the best performance while others like Sandra Oh are a distraction, but in the end DEFENDOR neither thrills nor amuses, just proving to be a time-waster and nothing more.

FlashCallahan A crooked cop, a mob boss and the young girl they abuse are the denizens of a city's criminal underworld. It's a world Arthur Poppington doesn't understand........... or belong in, but is committed to fighting when he changes into a vigilante super-hero of his own making.Calling himself Defendor, and with no power other than courage, he takes to the streets to protect the city's innocents......Even though it was made before, this film is overshadowed by two other films in this little sub-genre, Kick-Ass and Super, and to be fair, they are far superior to this.Kick-Ass was better written and directed, and the much needed humour was excellent. Super was just a bludgeoning short of Grindhouse, and its in your face violence and performances made it stand out.Here we have Harrelson, as good as ever, but the script is poor, and it's playing the mental health card way too many times, just to play it safe, and in the end, it's treating the audience like morons.But Woody is as reliable as ever and makes the film just worth watching. But you'll have a sense of déjà Vu if you see it.

Uday Pulleti 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.

billcr12 Woody Harrelson is hilarious as Defendor, a dim witted, crime fighting super hero. After showing a serious side in The Messenger, the actor proves his amazing versatility in this one. A psychiatrist, Dr. Park(sexy Sandra Oh), interviews Arthur(Harrelson) who explains the reason for his arrest for assault began with a corrupt cop named Dooney, who smokes crack and patronizing hookers. Art believes that the officer works for his enemy, Captain Industry. He lives alone, and one day he meets Angel, the hooker who was previously with Dooney. He is badly beaten by friends of the cop and Angel plays Florence Nightingale. She stays with him for a while at a building depot. Defendor gets shot by Dooney's men, and survives after surgery. He learns that Angel was abused by her father and when he tracks him down, he beats him up, which explains his arrest. Dr. Park sympathizes with him. He makes the news and tries to rehabilitate Angel, while fighting corruption. Defendor is worth it for Woody Harrelson's presence alone.
