Plot
Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a typical teenage boy, wonders why no one has ever decided to become a real-life superhero like the heroes in the comic books. His friends at a comic book store told him that if anyone did become a superhero, they would get their ass kicked. Lizewski fails at his first attempt to fight crime, he is beaten, stabbed, and hit by a car. He convinces paramedics to say nothing of his costume and pretends he was brought in naked. In hospital for several weeks he is left with metal holding his bones together which he says looks like Wolverine
Synopsis
Adapted from Mark Millar's hyper-violent comic book of the same name, director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake)'s 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 Moritz) 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, All Movie Guide .
Review
On the surface, Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) looks just like your typical dweeby high school student. He sucks at sport, goes unnoticed by girls and hangs out at the local comic book emporium. But when Dave dons his special mail-order green wetsuit he becomes… well, he becomes a guy in a wetsuit. Kick-Ass, the crime-fighting alter-ego Dave creates for himself, has no superpowers or extraordinary abilities, except for what he describes as an elevated capacity to take a kicking. This is the delicious premise of Kick-Ass. There’s been a lot of fun had with humanising new and classic superheroes of late – the Watchmen, Hancock, the Incredibles, the perpetually broody Spider-Man, etc. – but, in Kick-Ass, we finally have a new ‘superhero’ that is just some guy, as pathetically ‘human’ as the rest of us.
Meanwhile, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and his eleven-year-old daughter Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) are honing their skills and buying toys to become bona fide superheroes. Cage is the best he’s been in years in this role, probably because he’s enjoying himself, replicating that unmistakable Adam West cadence as soon as he dons his Batman-style gear. Moretz, as the Internets will have told you by now, is a revelation, a foul-mouthed, pocket-sized version of The Bride in total command of the best action sequences of the film. It’s a child role that eats other child roles for breakfast – Moretz herself played another ho-hum precocious kid sister in 500 Days of Summer – and Moretz owns it.
Then there’s Chris D’Amico (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), son of local drug baron and bad guy Frank D’Amico (Mark Strong). Chris eventually becomes Red Mist, a would-be supervillain posing as a superhero, with the best superhero outfit of the lot of them (it includes a cape). It’s off with the specs at last for Mintz-Plasse – all the better to see his evil sideways glances – and his performance is all the better for it. This is Mintz-Plasse bidding farewell to McLovin’, and not a moment too soon.
Kick-Ass is directed by Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust) with style and flair – he makes the gymnastic shoot-out sequences look easy – but it’s fairer to say that Kick-Ass comes from the mind of comic world artist/demigod Mark Millar. Millar created Wanted and has also spent a lot of time shaking up the DC and Marvel universes, so it’s no surprise that Kick-Ass shows off its self-awareness, saluting and subverting comic book conventions with good humour. This is, of course, just the kind of thing to endear it to newcomers and long-time comic book aficionados. In fact, the place-filler soundtrack at this early screening gives an idea of just how well Kick-Ass plays into the superhero tradition: John Williams’s score from Superman sounded out as Dave gets into his wetsuit and Danny Elfman’s score from Batman accompanied the scenes in Chris’s own Batmobile, a red Ford Mustang. It’s just a shame there’s no way these will make it to the final cut.
Action and comedy is no new cocktail, but there’s something striking about the particular blend in Kick-Ass. If Wanted was Chuck Palahniuk-does-superheroes, Kick-Ass could be Superbad meets Superman. Dave fantasises over his English teacher, discusses the finer details of comic book heroes and skillfully avoids telling token hot girl Katie that he’s not gay. But then it’s also gloriously brutal. When Dave gets his own ass kicked during his first attempt at fighting crime, it starts off funny – he looks ridiculous – but the sudden fierceness of the scene takes everyone by surprise. Kick-Ass could have easily been played for easy laughs the whole way through, but this is the point at which Kick-Ass announces, loudly and proudly, that it’s taking a different route, and it’s especially not going to compromise on sheer bloody violence. What’s more, further to some spectacular death scenes, there are sequences that would rival those of the most gripping and thought-provoking action drama.
This won’t be a unique observation – watch us film critics flock to this one – but if you have a movie
