KICK-ASS

The aptly named Kick-Ass is awash with violence, swearing. It’s a shame the film has been overshadowed by the puritanical over reaction to violence. I’ve seen a lot more violent films in my time, maybe it’s just the fact that a fictional 13 year old girl seems to be committing it? Swearing and slashing ‘Hit Girl’ is one of the films highlights almost stealing the show from ‘Big Daddy’ Nicholas Cage and Aaron ‘Kick-Aass’ Johnston. McLovin as wannabe super-villain ‘Red Mist’ provides most of the laughs, even if the ending sets him on a more ruthless path for the sequel.
