Kick ass action

Rating: 7/10 (3 August 2013)

Kick Ass is a comic book adaptation of a geeky teenager who sets out to become a real life superhero. He labels himself 'Kick Ass' and spends his time getting his butt kicked.
At the same time he meets Big Daddy played by Nicolas Cage, a former cop who wants to bring downs drug lord Frank D'Amico, and who has raised his daughter to be a ruthless vigilante.
The film adaptation combines kick ass graphic violence and comedy with also profanity. The tone is uneven and its target audience of young teenagers might find the film too strong.
Adults might find that they are not hip enough for the film, a little bit like Scott Pilgrim.
