Go See this Movie

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2010)

One of the best movies I have seen in probably 2 years. In the end I truly did like it more than Avatar.
The best part is I really did not know what was going to happen at every pivotal point in the movie. I won't get into any spoilers but you know some movies (IE. Green Zone) where you probably could script out the way the entire movie would play out after the first 20 minutes.... lets just say I did not know what would happen right down to the final scenes.
It is brutally violent and at the same time funny, seamlessly transitioning back and forth maintaining just enough humour to dictate the overall feel of the film into a .... not quite happy but certainly lighter tone. It's important they did that for it was a truly serious movie people would over analyze the hell out of it.
The actors were amazingly well cast and as many reviewers have already stated, they are really people you can emphasize with or at least relate to. The bad guys are actually seriously bad dudes.... its not a film in which the bad guys are just stupid and really not so bad in the end (IE. brutal Spider Man films)..... no they are actually kinda smart and people that will torture, kill, maim etc... Nicholas Cage as Big Daddy has his best role since his glory days of Face Off, Con Air, and The Rock.
Action scenes are incredible with three in particular.... The first major Kick Ass fight, Big Daddy's fight, and well several of Hit Girls with one in particular that you will know when you see it.
Its a full length two hour movie and honestly you wish it could have been 3 hours long because the script and story just meshed that well. Lots of action, lots of humor, good guys you really like and bad guys that are just as hilarious in their own brutal way.
A funny/serious action movie with a plot like no movie I've ever seen. Go see it.
