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.

A funny, different take on the super hero genre.

Nice little grimy feel for the hero films.

A silly movie that’s actually quite charming. Harrelson and the rest of the cast are great. This film is simple, goofy and full of heart.

​Woody Harrelson is heartbreaking as a DIY superhero with a jar of wasps. It’s "Kick-Ass" but with actual soul and way more trauma.

This is the lesser of the two dark comedy vigilante movies that came out around the time (the other being Super), but still fun
Jacob Hall
Jacob Hall
A satire that portrays mentally challenged people in a respectful way. Harrelson gives one of his best performances
Bill

Woody Harrelson's performance carries this dark superhero movie.
Tychoxi
Tychoxi
Low-key drama about a mentally challenged man who befriends a prostitute and decides to use his "Defendor" persona to go after a drug lord.
Rockie
Rockie
A fun Harrelson movie with a different take on the superhero genre, it isn't well executed nevertheless and feels a little clunky and dated
