Synopsis: Bruined and beaten, arm in a sling, neck in a brace, Arthur Poppington sits in front of court-appointed psychologist Ellen Chum. After making her swear to secrecy, Poppington begins to tell the story of his secret life as "Defendor" - yes, that's an "OR" - spelling is not one of his super powers. By day, Poppington directs traffic around road construction sites, but at night he dons a pair of black tights, a black jersey with a crude "D" duct-taped to his chest, and trawls the streets as his alter ago. As Defendor, Poppington engages in what he believes is a super heroic fight against crime in an attempt to fulfull his unrealized dream of capturing his archrival, Captian Industry - a gun trafficking crime lord who Poppington mistankenly believes is responsible for the death of his mother. Defendor's problems with the law begin with his intervention in a trick gone bad. When coming to the aid of Katerina Debrofkowitz, an underage prostitute, Defendor tangles with her pimp, Chuck Dooney - a crooked undercover cop. By doing so, Defendor bumbles his way into a criminal underwold, and the stage is set for a showdown with Captain Industry.

U.S. Rating: R
Woody Harrelson is the perfect man to play a weird role in a weird film, and make it look as real as it can be! I totally love Woody, he's a weird-looking funny man. I enjoy every single of his films.
Woody is back to play Defendor. A nobody trying to be a secret superhero who fights crime every night, just like "Kick-Ass".
Defendor is about Arthur Poppington, a guy who works directing traffic at a construction site by day and fights crime under his secret identity by night. What is Arthur's secret identity? Defendor! A guy in pair of black tights, a black jersey with a "D" duct-taped to his chest. What are his secret weapons? A bunch of marvels, mad bees in a jar, a sling shot and a wood stick. His goal? To catch and destroy Captian Industry - a gun trafficking crime lord who killed his mother when he was just a child.
The truth about all this normal life by day and secret life by night is that Arthur is not 100% ok up there... you know... in his mind. He thinks he's invincible, that guns won't kill him, but he always ends up waking up in a hospital or jail bruined and beaten.
The interesting thing about all of this dual life is that at the end, Defendor helps to bring down a corrupt cop and a complete prostitution and crime organization.
It is not the best plot you would expect (too weak), but it is definitely worth to watch. Woody Harrelson lives his role and makes it look so real! If you're a big Woody's fan (like me), you should take some time to watch and enjoy this film.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Woody's role is simply hilarious. He's the perfect guy for these "mentally challenged" guy roles. De-fen-DOR!!!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. A weak role. Maybe that was the reason they just released the movie on DVD. I believe that it would be such a funny film if it was based on a stronger plot
I would rate this movie with a 3/5
