“How come nobody’s ever tried to be a Superhero?” When ordinary NY teen and rabid comic-book geek Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) dons a green and yellow wetsuit to become a no-nonsense vigilante, he soon discovers the answer to his question: because it hurts. But overcoming all odds, the eager yet inexperienced Dave becomes a phenomenon, capturing the imagination of the public. Then Kick-Ass gets drawn into the no-holds-barred world of bullets and bloodletting when he meets a highly-trained father (Nic Cage) and daughter (Chloe Moretz) crime-fighting duo who have slowly but surely been taking down the criminal empire of the local Mafia boss, Frank. Frank’s son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) is soon reborn as Kick-Ass’s arch-nemesis, Red Mist, and the stage is set for the final showdown between the forces of good and evil. Will Dave live up to his name… or die trying? This new adaptation of Mark Millar’s lethal comic is directed by Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake).
