Kick-Ass -- 勁揪俠

Kick-Ass (勁揪俠) is a 2010 film out of the US. The movie stars Aaron Johnson, Nicolas Cage, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

The movie is about a teenager that decides to become a superhero, Dave Lizewski. Dave gets a costume and goes out on his first mission and gets stabbed and beat pretty bad. Dave survives but is not full of metal and has a decreased sense of pain. After Dave recovers, he goes back out to become a superhero. This time, he is caught on tape and its uploaded. Dave tells the camera guy that he's Kick Ass after he's brutally beat up again. This makes him a celebrity and the city starts have copy cats. However, in the background, there is a real superheros set on taking down the crime boss of the city, Big Daddy and Hit Girl. They make contact with Kick-Ass to keep tabs on him. The crime boss doesn't know this and decides to go after Kick-Ass. Kick-Ass however is preoccupied with his new girlfriend. However, through MySpace, he's found. Will Kick-Ass be able to defeat the crime boss or will he suffer a horrible defeat.

This is one of the better films out this year. Since I am a big comic book fan, the mythos of the movies were familiar to me. And the way the movie was paced made it a easy watch. There were no dead moments.

I highly recommend this film for the excellent pacing, engaging story, and solid acting.
