An indie Canadian film that I had hoped to see when it screened at the Kingston Canadian Film Festival, but I was busy during the screening, so only getting around to seeing it now.
Defendor stars Woody Harrelson as a mentally-slow man who dons the persona of Defendor to do his duty to protect his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario from Captain Industry (a childhood misunderstanding of the term captains of industry. While the film aims to capture on the superhero genre, it ends up falling flat as it is unable to smoothly integrate the elements of comicbook spoofing, crime drama and a mental-health story. While Harrelson's performance carries the movie preventing it from being a total waste of time, but it's not enough to warrant viewing the film in the first place.
