Kick Ass

Review:     4 Stars     Rated: 18-A

Look-out bad guys there’s a new hero in town and he’s nothing short of average.  Kick-Ass is a superhero film based on the comic book of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. The film was directed by Matthew Vaughn, who co-produced the film with actor Brad Pitt, and co-wrote the screenplay with Jane Goldman.  More info here

Plot: This is A story of an ordinary teenager, Dave Lizewski, who sets out to become a real-life superhero only to get caught up in a bigger fight and gets in way over his head.  Will our fearless crime fighter be tossed into the cold streets never to be heard from again? Not this time; Kick-Ass is saved by none other than Big Daddy and Hit-Girl who have an agenda of their own…. kill the Bad guy who destroyed their lives.

Did It Suck? So watching the trailers I figured this is going to be some cheese-ball action comedy.  Well after seeing this movie I was extremely shocked at how good this film was.  This is not a kid’s movie by far, in fact, it’s quit the opposite.  It has very harsh language and violent gore.  The dynamics of this film are impressive and key to making this movie work the way it did.  There is not much I didn’t like about this film, however, I could have done with a little less of the foul language from 12 year old  Chloe Moretz (Hit-Girl).  She drops the ‘C’ word among other colourful lines.  Worth a Ticket.
