"So what if she's (an) eleven!"








Title: Kick Ass

Directed by: Matthew Vaughn

Written by: Jane Goldman, Matthew Vaughn

Starring: Nick Cage, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Aaron Johnson and Chloe Moretz

“Kick Ass” is a lot like a bag of really good shrooms, at first it does nothing for you and then it disappoints you and then before you know it you’re 6 years old again, lost in your imagination, dead set on the possibility of murdering the local garbage truck with your Karate White belt and tamagochi. It’s amazing. easily the most fantastic film of the year and one of the finest action-comedy’s I’ve ever witnessed. Matthew Vaughn puts together a smorgasbord of pop culture references and high-flying ass kicking violence to create what can only be described as a Masterpiece.

The narrative tells the tale of Kick Ass, played by Dave Lizewski played by Aaron Johnson and his birth into the world of vigilantism. Without the luxuries of social intelligence, super powers, excessive wealth or even revenge, Dave becomes a super hero, out of a sense of responsibility to his fellow man. From here things just get wetter, enter Hit Girl –FYI My future ex-wife- and Big Daddy who align themselves with Kick Ass to fight crime and bring down super crime king pin Frank D’Amico. The adventure speeds up to a pace where you’re no longer thinking but making exploding noises with your mouth and mind.

It’s a seminal flick. Laden with violence, dialogue and characters so fresh that you can only compare it to the entrance into your imagination that Mr. White, Pink and Brown in Reservoir Dogs made. The action scenes are unbelievable, the narrative has awesome linearity, its fantastically colourful and more decorated than Lisa Sparxxx in a U12 boys basketball locker room.

Three thumbs up and champagne sprouting from its nipples, Kick Ass is in this writer’s top 3. If this is the future of cinema then get ready for me to get fat and never get laid, because god damn it, this shit is amazing.
I’m not even going to think about this and give this bad girl
10 Hoers!
