“How come no one has ever tried to be a superhero?” When Dave Lizewski – ordinary New York teenager and rabid comic geek – is a green and yellow combination purchased on the Internet to become the no-nonsense vigilante Kick- Ass, he soon finds an answer to his own question: because it hurts. But, more to come all the chances, the desire inexperienced Dave quickly became a phenomenon, capturing the public imagination. However, n ‘ is not the only superhero out there – the courageous and highly skilled father-daughter fight against crime duo, Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, were slowly but surely down the criminal empire of local Mafioso Frank D ‘ Amico. And, as Kick-Ass is not drawn in their holds barred world of bullets and bloodletting with Frank’s son Chris, now reborn as Mist Kick-Ass Red sworn enemy, the stage is set for final showdown between the forces of good and evil, in which the hero must live to craft his name. Or die trying … The cinematic equivalent of a half case of Red Bull chased with donuts, Kick -Ass is a dizzy, experience violent – not your superhero movie on average. Based on the comic book by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., it offers a set of heroes who are decidedly without superpowers: Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) decides that it will be just like a cartoon character, and puts on a ridiculous green suit to fight crime as the mysterious Kick-Ass. Fortunately, someone else had the same idea and comes long to save the incompetent Crusader: Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and his daughter Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz), who are also running around town wearing masks and evil defeated. And here we have a master’s Film: Hit Girl, a pint-sized pre-teen who kills the bad guys and swears like a sailor on leave (and has been the subject of a controversy when the film was released). The main target of our hero is a gangster (Mark Strong, Sherlock Holmes), whose son neglected (Christopher Mintz-Plasse, McLovin from Superbad) figures he might just pull a costume himself and become … Red Mist! (One of the many funny things to About Kick-Ass is that the names of heroes are hopelessly lame.) Director Matthew Vaughn is on the same level as his glib Layer Cake, with the song clues galore and cutesy with an appetite for free-wheeling cartoon violence. This means high film rapidly disappearing, but it does get high – a crazy, hilarious (and by the way: decidedly R-rated) kick. All this, plus Nicolas Cage executes a murderer Adam West imitation when He pulls on his cape and hat. This is entertainment. – Robert HortonStills of Kick-Ass (Click for larger image)
