With a boatload of fan-boy love propelling this one into the mainstream, and a savvy lack of political correctness, Mathew Vaughn’s Kick-ass continues the publicity train. Satisfyingly, the trailers for this one keep getting better and better, and for once, the film easily lives up to its trailer. When the embargo lifts on the film, my thoughts will appear, but suffice it to say, as not the biggest lover of comic-book hero films, this is one I can easily get behind.
Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan with a few friends and who lives alone with his father. His life is not very difficult and his personal trials not that overwhelming. However, one day he makes the simple decision to become a super-hero even though he has no powers or training.
Kick-Ass opens wide on April 16th.
Pumped.
