When he recovers, he accidentally stumbles into a street fight, goes viral on YouTube, and becomes a celebrity known as "Kick-Ass." But he soon discovers he is not alone. There is the psychotic father-daughter duo, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage doing a brilliant Adam West impression) and the 11-year-old killing machine, Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz).
Matthew Vaughn once said he wanted to make the "Tarantino version of a superhero movie." He succeeded.
Kick-Ass (2010) is the hangover after the party. It is the reality check. It tells you that if you put on a mask, you will get stabbed. But it also whispers that maybe—just maybe—it is still worth trying to save someone.
