Promises Kept
PostedApril 17, 2010

from Willingboro, NJ
Nearly a year ago a clip at Comic-Con whetted the appetite of many for the film adaptation of the comic Kick Ass. Of course like many snippets from a film in production the worry was can it live up to the promise created by that 2 minute burst of chewy goodness. Well I'm glad to say Kick Ass rose to the challenge and met it.
A warning, the word VIOLENT is an understatement in this film and that is certain to draw it's share of ire among the more "conservative" members of the movie going public.
Aaron Johnson as the titular hero Kick Ass does a good job of bringing a believability to the fanboy wannabe superhero. Mark Strong is in fine form as the main antagonist dancing between menace and sly wink humor. Christopher Mintz-Plasse does a servicable turn as Red Mist.
Nicolas Cage as Big Daddy brings his sense of "offness" to a role that it seems was tailor fit for him and takes full advantage but the movie is totally own by Chloe Morets as the wonderfully over the top Hit Girl. Her portrayal of the tiny terror will last in many memories and with luck that memory will last into the fall as lists of accolades are made .
All in all this film should serve as the perfect appetizer for the annual feast of escapist entertainment that is the summer movie season though I do offer one caveat, this film EARNS its R rating and parents should keep that in mind before allowing their tweens access.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
