Kick-Ass (2010)

£0.00


Country: US/GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 117m
Director: Matthew Vaughn
Cast: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Nicolas Cage, Chloë Grace Moretz, Mark Strong

Synopsis:

A nerdy high school kid into superhero comics invents a crimefighter alias for himself, and nearly gets himself killed. Fortunately for him, there is a real vigilante minor out there, who has been schooled by her dad in the lethal arts.

Review:

A Peter Parker tale for the new generation inured by comic book violence, the difference being that instead of 'sock, biff, pow' the mayhem is all too real. Except that it isn't, and maybe teaching a lesson in ethics by having your kid hero actually shoot people is not the ideal recipe for a gun-obsessed America. Sure, it's undeniably well made, but it's also gory and profane adult material served up as breakfast cereal. Naturally there was a sequel.
