Kick-Ass
Shut up. Kick-ass.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn
Produced by Plan B Entertainment, Marv
A darkly comedic, high-energy deconstruction of superhero mythology that blends graphic violence with irreverent humor and genuine coming-of-age stakes.
Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a super-hero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so.
