It's a Mixed Bag -

Rating: 5/10 (6 March 2011)

Kick Ass is a film desperately looking for an identity. It layers poor music choices over its action sequences which ruins any suspense or interest. It isn't funny enough to be a black comedy.
It isn't serious enough, or structured comprehensively, to be a good action-adventure. It's shallow for a teen-self awareness message. Motivation for some of the main characters are non-existent or contradictory. There are a few story detours without purpose.
The performances of the actors are miss-matched .. a few are terrific, some are not passable.. The violence is bloody, and at times very brutal. But it isn't a slasher film.
If mindless, bloody movies without a point is your thing, then you got it ... If you can stand dismemberment and knives through hands, and want to see an 11 year old girl perform theses acts while stealing scenes, this is your movie ..(which I guess a lot of kids do .. they've announced Kick-Ass 2 ... )
