What Is This Movie Supposed To Be???

Rating: 4/10 (18 August 2013)

I'm not exactly sure what to make of, ' K-A ', which is kind of a mix of, ' Hero At Large ', meets, ' The Dark Knight ', meets, ' The Big Hit ', meets, ' The Punisher ', with some, ' Leon: The Professional ', too.
I don't even know how to clearly categorize it! It's part Adolescent Super-Hero Fantasy, and part Vigilante Revenge Story, and part Dark Comedy Satirizing Violence in Today's Society!
-But What Is It Supposed to Be???
And if the answer is: All of the Above, then that is too much crammed into just one movie to be enjoyable-At least in this case.
The premise of an unintimidating nerd dressing up like a superhero, and his antics leading to absurd and gratuitous and intense violence, is somewhat interesting.
And I don't have a problem with violence in a movie-even when the violence is absurd and gratuitous and intense-IF it fits the movie.
But I'm not sure how all the absurd & gratuitous and intense violence fits in this movie:
I am not sure how I am supposed to feel about a father and Underage daughter team of, ' Heroes ', who nonetheless appear to be just as vengeful and bloodthirsty as the villains! Are we supposed to be cheering for them, or even taking them seriously at all?
And I am not sure how I am supposed to feel when I see a gang of thugs beat the living hell out of people-including young people-Up Close.
And I'm not sure how I am supposed to feel when I see Pre-Teen Chloe Grace Moretz brandish blades and high-end firepower to skillfully waste bad guys.
So how do I feel about, ' K-A '? -Confused!
But one thing I am sure of: I did not come away from watching, ' K-A ', feeling like I had fun, which is supposed to be the whole point.
