KICK ASS (2010)
SYNOPSIS
When Dave Lizewski – ordinary New York teenager and
rabid comic-book geek dons a green-and-yellow
internet-bought wetsuit to become the no-nonsense
vigilante, Kick Ass, he soon finds an answer to his own
question; because it hurts. But, overcoming all the
odds, the eager yet inexperienced Dave quickly
becomes a phenomenon, capturing the imagination of
the public. However, he’s not the only superhero out
there – the fearless and highly-trained father-daughter
crime-fighting duo, Big Daddy and Hit Girl have been
slowly but surely taking down the criminal empire of
local Mafioso, Frank D’Amico. And, as Kick –Ass gets
drawn into their no-holds-barred world of bullets and
bloodletting with Frank’s son, Chris, now reborn as
Kick-Ass’s arch-nemesis, Red Mist – the stage is set
for a final showdown between the forces of good and
evil – which the DIY hero will have to live up to his
name. Or die trying…
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, from a screenplay by
Jane Goldman & Matthew Vaughn, and based on the
comic written by Mark Millar and John S. Romita, Jr.
