DEFENDOR REVIEW: Woody’s Finest Performance?
Woody Harrelson turns in what could be the best performance of his career as a developmentally challenged man who takes the name of Defendor in his vigilante quest to clean up the streets of Hammer City. It’s becoming posh to do a send-up of the Superhero and Comicbook boom in Hollywood, but that’s not AT ALL what Defendor is. It’s an elegant use of the vocabulary of the vigilante to tell a deeply personal and tragic life story. It’s in limited release, but if you can find it, this indie gem is absolutely worth your time and money!

A semester or year back Defender was shown up at York University and was produced by Darius Films

I loved this one… thanks for the recommendation, M&N! You guys always find the diamonds in the rough… I’ll never forget getting to see Paranormal Activity before all the hulabaloo thanks to you two! Not to mention Thirst…
