Kick-ass (Matthew Vaughn, 2010)

"Like every serial killer already knew: eventually fantasizing just doesn't do it for you anymore."

Nicholas Cage is a big tease. He gives us shitty movies for a while, then suddenly stars in something good and gives a really enjoyable role, and then runs off and does shit again. It's like a prostitute that gives you the best fuck of your life followed by a sex that even bores a necrophilia and then when you are about to give up, it's again that lovely tongue trick combined with marvelous compliments about your majestic penis.

Cage plays "Big Daddy", an ex-cop bent on vengeance and has trained his pre-teen daughter to be a super assassin. They both wear superhero costumes but have no superhero powers.

But they both do kick ass, which the other character, a teenager also wearing superhero costumes calling himself "Kick-ass", does not. Matthew Vaughn has made a very enjoyable film. While the film seems to start off a more realistic look at a normal boy's attempt at being a vigilante (it is not as easy as it looks (it actually doesn't look easy)) but then somehow the realism is subdued and the volume of action is increased. Big Daddy and his daughter are not superhero in the classic comic-boy sense of the word, but there are comic book elements to it. There is a reason Big Daddy resembles Batman, as he is the one major superhero that did not have any supernatural powers. The characters here also do not, but they do not possess Batman's ethic code. So that means, more mayhem, more blood, and more fun for us all.

4/5

just like Sin City, the sequel is not happening any time soon and it looks like it will take years for it to come out although i think Lion Gates announced it...
