Matthew Vaughan brings the outrageous comic Kick Ass to the big screen. The hero of the story is Dave Lizewski (Johnson) an average slightly geeky teenager and comic book fan. He decides that he will dress as a superhero and do good deeds around the city – and so Kick Ass a hero without any special powers is born.
While Lizewski dresses in a adapted wet suit and go through various levels of pain there are two real superheroes – Big Daddy (Cage) and the excellent Hit Girl (Moretz) who easily put Kick Ass’s efforts in the shade. Big Daddy and Hit Girl are determined to bring down crime lord Frank D’Amico (Strong) by whatever means possible.
This film is great, its fast, its funny, its gory, its over the top, it plays at 100 miles an hour. Its like being on a film roller coaster – exhilarating and exciting and you don’t want the ride to stop. Its also a film that’s so over the top and the graphic violence and swearing Im sure will offend middle England (all the more reason to see it!).
The cast is perfect, from the slightly geeky but also handsome Johnson (recently seen as a young John Lennon in Nowhere Boy), hes going to be one actor to watch in the future. Cage begins to return to a form he was at many many years ago, Strong is excellent and Mintz-Plasse (Mclovin from Superbad) is great as the hero with all of the gadgets Red Mist. It is Moretz who effortlessly steals the show though, from the first time she appears on screen to the stunning Matrix-esque fight scenes – shes gotta be around for a long time. The mixture of deadly killer and schoolgirl is not something that can be easily studied but boy she sure pulls it off!
