Defendor (2009) is a movie I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Amazon Prime. The storyline for this picture focuses on a vigilante on the search for his arch nemesis, Captain Industry. One day he meets a prostitute and looks to change her life for the better and indirectly she begins helping him too; meanwhile, his new prospective may bring him closer to Captain Industry than he's even been before...
This movie is directed by Peter Stebbings (Empire of Dirt) and stars Woody Harrelson (White Men Can't Jump), Kat Dennings (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist), Sandra Oh (Under the Tuscan Sun), Michael Kelly (Dawn of the Dead) and Lisa Ray (Water).
The storyline for this is fairly straightforward and relies on some unique characters and approaches to circumstances. Much of the plot is unrealistic, as are the circumstances (at least how the police handle it).
The cast is really good and the dialogue is fairly random and funny. Harrelson was perfectly cast for this lead role and nailed his performance. The action sequences are pretty good, especially the shootouts, and the garbage scene was great.
Overall this is a fairly average addition to the genre but still worth a viewing. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
