Adapted from Mark Millar's hyper-violent comic book of the same name, director Matthew Vaughn's (Layer Cake) vigilante superhero film tells the tale of an average New York teenager who decides to don a costume and fight crime. Comic book geek Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) may not have good coordination or special powers, but that doesn't mean he isn't a fully capable crime fighter. After purchasing a flashy wet suit on the Internet, Dave starts busting up baddies with nothing but brute force. He calls himself Kick-Ass, and he can take a beating as good as he can dish one out. Before long, Kick-Ass has become a local sensation, and others are following his lead. Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz) are a father-daughter crime-fighting duo who have set their sights on local mob heavy Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong). They're doing a decent job of dismantling Frank's sizable underworld empire when Kick-Ass gets drawn into the fray. But Frank's men play rough, and his son, Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), is about to become Kick-Ass' very first arch nemesis. When Chris assumes the persona of Red Mist, the stage is set for a superhero showdown that could spell the end of Kick-Ass once and for all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Absolutely good movie! I have to admit that this movie truly defines a situation of what an average, crazy person does to take matters into his/her own hands to fight crime as an ordinary, reality-based superhero. Aaron Johnson does a very good job in this movie in defining this situation as the superhero, Kick A**.. Who would have thought that Chloe Moretz as "Hit Girl" would be the best heroe throughout the entire movie!! Who would have thought that so much ammunition came out of this little one throughout the entire movie. That girl is the best vigilante superhero I have seen yet. Chloe Moretz should win an award for her role in this movie. Nicholas Cage as "Big Daddy" is the real Batman. This movie is absolutely incredible and hilarious! The actors did a very good job for the roles they had portrayed in the movie and the plot and development of the movie just keeps climaxing from beginning to end. I would highly recommend this movie to others 18 YEARS OLD AND OVER.
