Defendor

Defendor (2009) is a tragicomedy about a homemade superhero you can watch online on iFILM. By day Arthur Poppington works a road crew; by night he pulls on a black costume and patrols the city hunting evil.

Arthur genuinely believes he is a crime fighter called Defendor. He carries no real weapons — just a handful of marbles, a jar of angry wasps, and stubborn nerve. His sworn enemy is a phantom named Captain Industry, whom he blames for his mother's death. On the street he crosses paths with a young sex worker named Kat (Kat Dennings) and a dirty cop (Elias Koteas), and his clumsy crusade collides with an actual criminal underworld. Woody Harrelson plays Arthur; Sandra Oh is his court-appointed psychiatrist.

Canadian director Peter Stebbings makes his debut without mocking his hero: behind the ridiculous outfit is a developmentally challenged man with an enormous heart. Funny and heartbreaking at once. Stream Defendor (2009) online on iFILM.
