REVIEW
I have this tendency of skimming through the line-up of the film before deciding whether to watch it or not. This has worked in my favour most of the times, but also against me a few times. When I saw Mark Strong‘s name as part of cast for Kick-Ass, because he is one of my favourite actors, I jumped with joy.
Kick-Ass is about a young man who is tired of his crime-ridden neighbourhood, thus decides to take it into his hands to punish those ravishing his beloved community. The way to do this, as a superhero, seems like a brilliant idea. The only problem? He doesn’t have superpowers to be rendered a superhero. He then gets introduced to other self-made superheroes in a father and daughter duo who are on a quest to avenge a family member’s murder.
This film is entertaining in its humorous nature, boasts great performances and an overall fun with great action. The only snag many may find unappealing is how graphic it is in its presentation as well as language, especially since the daughter (Hit Girl) in the father and daughter team is only a child.
It was great seeing Nicolas Cage in his unassuming stance as the father, Big Daddy. Even greater was seeing Omari Hardwick, who I first started to take notice on Next Day Air with Wood Harris, Mike Epps and Donald Faison, in a mainstream, potentially blockbuster flick. I believe he has a role in the film-version of old television series The A-Team, and a few other releases for later this year. Looking forward to seeing how he fares in those projects. I seriously think he is destined for great things.
Kick-Ass gets 3 out of 5 YEAHBO wireless radios for it’s entertainment and performances value.
