Defendor

An unexpected hero will rise.

Overview

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 that ordinary Arthur Poppington doesn't understand and doesn't belong in, but is committed to fighting when he changes into a vigilante super-hero of his own making, Defendor. With no power other than courage Defendor takes to the streets to protect the city's innocents.

An intelligent take on superhero black comedy. It’s hard to imagine this movie without Harrelson, but I also like the director’s choice not to over-dramatize. Better than Kick-Ass, I’d say, and might be the best movie I’ve seen of this kind.
