Kick Ass

"With no powers, comes no responsibility"... Kick Ass is excellent entertainment. Why hasn't anyone in real life decided to become a superhero? Well this film shows what happens when a teenager called Dave decides to do that very thing. Of course he is completely useless at it... until he gets drawn into preventing a mugging which is then filmed and shown on YouTube and he becomes an overnight success. Without spoiling the plot, Kick Ass teams up with a father and daughter team called Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage) and Hit Girl.

Hit Girl is a revelation... a foul mouthed, ultra vicious eleven year old she sets about beating the cr*p out of all the villains. In fact I may go as far as saying she is the true star of the film. There are some seriously funny moments, spliced with incredible violence. This is not a film for kids and I urge you to go and see it. Fabulous.

Rating: 9/10
