Defendor is an alright take on the non-powered superhero sub-genre, that ultimately fails to leave an impression. The plot is centred around themes of mental illness, alcoholism and addiction, but fails to really do anything with them. It's characters are pitiable. Harrelson is alright, Dennings is mercifully forgettable and Oh occasionally pops up. The nature of the characters doesn't easily lend itself to the attempted comedy nor is the drama that good. Watchable, but that's about it.

This movie has a lot of problems (the tone-deaf script is not as clever as it thinks it is, especially in the really dumb third act and cringe-worthy ending), but Stebbings directs reasonably well, if unremarkably (he has a snappy, entertaining editing rhythm) and the acting is charming if not brilliant (except for Dennings, though not many people could make something out of that character) so it's fun and likable for the most part.

I don't want to diminish the awesomeness of the movie, but I think that the best describing word for it is "cute". Cute, with heart. It wasn't exactly funny, but it had greatly humorous moments - with the lime juice and the wasps. Woody Harrelson is badass, as always.

Top badass moment? Nearly all superheroes are badass and Defendor's no exception. Going after the city's crime boss armed with only a few marbles and wasps is pretty ballsy; it's also one of the most stupid things you can probably do too. Monumental stupidity is always badass. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

I hesitate to call Defendor a good movie. It's too mediocre and tonally inconsistent to truly recommend it. But its take on the superhero genre, and real-life superheroes in particular, is novel, and if you're looking for something a little different from the superhero blockbuster, this one might fit the bill. It has moments of brilliance and some good performances, and while it does feel long it's never truly dull. It's a mixed bag, but if it sounds like it's for you, I recommend seeing it.
