Thank you England.....

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2010)

...for producing the creator, producers and director of Kick Ass...already the best movie of 2010 and one not likely to be bettered for all round entertainment!
The premise is great, take an 'average' kid and place him into a world of gangsters over his head armed only with a diving suit, a couple of sticks and a bag full of good intentions. Counter that with a bitter and twisted patriarch grooming his daughter for death, mayhem and destruction and you have an almost perfect movie, one that kept me watching throughout! The balance is perfect keeping enough comic book nuance but always grounded in the real world where no one really can fly, catch speeding bullets or climb vertical walls with impunity. There is not one wasted line and the director gets great performances out of all involved. It looks like it was a hoot to make and for me, it was a hoot and a half to watch. Best film of 2010?
It'll take some beating!
