Review: Defendor

Watch the trailer and you'll expect a second-rate Kick Ass, but Defendor is a surprisingly touching movie about a man just trying to some good in the world.

True there are plenty of comedic moments to be found, especially as he chooses to goabout this dressed as a superhero daubed in shoe polish and sticky tape, but the relationship between Defendor and Kat Dennings' crack whore is what makes the movie works, giving it a heart instead of just being a succession of prat falls.

Not even getting a cinema release over here, Defendor deserves to be one of the word of mouth hits of the year on its DVD release.
