Kick-Ass

I have mixed feelings about this movie.   I am actually still trying to digest it all.  Kick-Ass in one sense is just like all the other action movies being released lately.  Lot's of action, violence, blood gun play, slow motion martial arts, wire work, etc.   The movie is chalk full of all the elements that go together to make an awesome roller coaster ride of a film.   There is nothing in it that you haven't seen before in movies like The Matrix.   Where it goes off the radar is in the character of Hit Girl played by Chloe Moretz.  In the movie she racks up MOST of the kills, swears like a trucker and gets the most laughs.  She is ALSO playing an 11 year old.   What I find I keep thinking about is that IF it wasn't for her in the movie...  I wouldn't think anything about the violence in the movie.  With her in it... its different... and really I don't that should be.   Again the cinematography was excellent and the acting as well.  It's the like-ability of the story that I am having trouble defining.   It definitely left me questioning where the line should be drawn..  Watch out for Moretz though... she is ONE talented little actress... I have no doubt she will do well.  (4.0/6.0)
