KICK-ASS
United Kingdom/USA
2009
118 minutes
An average New York teenager decides to become a super-hero for real; he finds out it's not as easy or as fun as it seems, and that it's much more dangerous, when he accidentally runs into a vengeful mobster and a former cop looking for revenge. Lively, inventive satire of super-hero comic-books that disappointingly turns out to become exactly what it satirizes but offers some smart, cleverly written entertainment on its way there.
Marv presents a Marv Films/Plan B production.
Starring Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Mark Strong, Chloë Grace Moretz; and Nicolas Cage.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn; produced by Matthew Vaughn, Brad Pitt, Kris Thykier, Adam Bohling, Tarquin Peck, David Reid; screenplay by Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn, based on the comic-book Kick-Ass by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.; music by John Murphy, Henry Jackman, Marius de Vries, Ilan Eshkeri; director of photography (Technicolor, Panavision), Ben Davis; production designer, Russell de Rozario; costume designer, Sammy Sheldon; film editors, Jon Harris, Pietro Scalia, Eddie Hamilton; visual effects supervisor, Mattias Lindahl.
