Defendor


DEFENDOR (2009) - Apr. 4, 2011
Meh.  Well acted (both Woody Harrelson and Kat Dennings give above-average performances) but kind of dull, the film provided a slightly more real take on the "real guy becomes a superhero" subgenre, but seriously drags around the middle.  Harrelson's character, a mentally disabled, self-styled superhero, was definitely interesting, but the villains were kind of flat and the film itself just wasn't that good (the movie was at its best when it focused on the relationship between Harrelson and Dennings).  Also, John Rowley's low-rent score did much more harm than good.  **
