Defendor

Here's an alternative to all the millions of superhero movies out there: 2009's Defendor.

Woody Harrelson plays a man who believes his mission in life is to fight crime - dawn a superhero's uniform to take out the city's evil villain. A crooked cop stand in his way. But he makes headway when he befriends a young prostitute. 

I was expecting a dark comedy (like Kick-Ass - highly recommended!). But it's more of a drama with a few very funny moments. 

The entire cast is great. Writer-director, Peter Stebbings is good in both roles. 

It's not a 5-star movie, But I'd recommend it.
