Defendor: Hamilton's Superhero?!

[samurainoir]

Low budget Canadian film starring Woody Harrelson. I got a real kick out of seeing the nearby city of Hamilton as the blue collar, industrial backdrop for this film. Spotted a couple of school chums in it as well, in supporting roles.

I really reminded me quite a bit of this graphic novella...

I'll need to check that out - never heard of it.

It just got a limited theatrical release in Canada. Not sure what the distribution will be like in other parts of the world, but Harrelson is pretty hot off of Zombieland, so you never know.

I didn't realize it was something new. The trailer link is great aside from the ditz from clever.tv. Amazon says it hits dvd on 4/13

That's too bad, I was hoping that it would have had a chance at theatrical release outside of Canada.

Luckily Harrelson takes Robert Downey Jr's advice from Tropic Thunder about how to approach the character.

I finally got to see this. It wasn't quite what I expected, but I liked it a lot. It's hard to describe without giving too much away, but I can say it's worth a rental.

I almost forgot......the poster is all wrong. The reason is obvious once you've seen the movie.

Did anybody see this yet? Am I the only one who loves this movie?
