Defendor
Defendor has Woody Harrelson again playing an off kilter, borderline certifiable character that is under arrest and ordered into psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Park (Sometimes Vancouverite Sandra Oh) because he vandalized a dry cleaner. Their session reveals that this is just one of an array of acts that he performs as a self imposed crime fighter. By day he’s Arthur Poppington a construction flag but by night as Defendor he patrols metropolitan streets in black tights, storm trooper helmet painted on black mask and an antiquated video system looking to right wrongs on the mean streets with a unique array of organic weapons like angry hornets and lemon juice. He becomes the asexual champion of Kat (Kat Dennings) a teen runaway hooker that he thinks will lead him to a crime boss who is his preconceived nemesis. What he gets is ensnarled in police corruption involving Chuck Dooney (Montreal’s Elias Koteas) that results in some severe bruising for one imaginary super hero who refuses to back down. There’s a fair amount of charm in this movie that could be called Don Quixote light.
