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.
Acting
Woody Harrelson commits fully to Arthur's heartbreaking fragility.
Writing
Balances absurdity and tragedy without cheapening either.
Production
Grimy authenticity makes Defendor's homemade costume genuinely devastating.
