Defendor (2009)

I was pretty disappointed with this film, which is a shame. It played out like the typical Canadian low-budget flick, with the typically flaws. The performances were subpar, The story had gaps, and the overall production quality was also very Canadian. My reasons to see this movie was that it was filmed in my hometown, and I wanted to see my 'hood on the big screen. This aspect was satifactory. I saw my shitty mall, and some of the main arteries on display, and that was cool.
Some of the aspects that were weak.
Story: The protagonist is a mentally challenged individual. I had trouble seeing him as a legitimate super hero because he will always have issues of his own. Sure the whole idea that all super heros have weaknesses can be played, but really, it was not executed in this fashion. Instead I just felt sorry for the guy. And I did not find it believable that the whole city would support Defendor after he was killed (the guy got himself killed!)
Kat Dennings: She does not know how to play a junkie, and just comes across as confused and out of place. She played the part well visually with costume, but she was not believable smoking a crack pipe.
One part that I could help but be baffled at was the film had no soundtrack whatsoever throughout the film, but then at the end, as the credits are rolling, booms out with a powerful Metric song. No doubt this was one of the most costly aspects of this film, but really, why couldn't they put some tunes throughout the film, instead of at the end, where I'm already disappointed, and the song just seems to try too hard.
Sorry, I can't recommend this film, unfortunately.
