Good fun - Defendor review by HM
A naive individual takes up arms against crime trying to eradicate the person at the centre of evil. Deluded up to his eyeballs he forms a relationship with a druggy girl who knows where crime is at. Brave but not entirely competent, we follow his struggles with the police and criminals. Harrelson plays the part with the comic timing we have seen in Zombieland and the movie rests on him to give it allure. Seen 'Super'? The same mix of deluded hero, violence and humour is going on here. It works as a thriller and as a comic drama, very entertaining; you will be watching with interest. A little gem really.
