Kick Ass
*** OMG! While watching the 12-year-old girl slice and dice bad guys, below heads off, slit throats, break arms and legs, and all the while cursing like a drunken sailor... I kept thinking this is wrong, wrong, wrong. But, I could not take my eyes off the screen. The action was riveting, extremely well choreographed similar to "Kill Bill" style, the music was great and the characters were deep and engaging. This was a comic book action thriller made for adults with an adult sensibility but about teenagers wanting to be superheroes. I especially liked where the filmmakers used actual comic book frames, graphics or subtitles to make the point that this was a comic book film. Much better than the usual comic both movie that tries to make itself seem realistic. This film "is what it is" extremely violent but fun to watch. Recommended for hard-core action viewers.
