Pulls no punches. A worthy adaptation

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2010)

A truly daring comic-book movie, with great action sequences and dialogue that's sure to shock and leave you in awe. It's customary to hear profanities from adults in films, but hearing it from children always throws you for a loop. Nothing wrong with it in my view, and the constant use of it by Hit-Girl was a funny story in itself. She and Big Daddy definitely made for a great team, and provided some of the film's best moments. No doubt she's the star of the film, as her scenes are pretty much brilliant. Not familiar with the comic book, but as a stand-alone film, it's great. So, as far as an adaptation goes, I'm pretty sure it lives up to the source material.
