2010118 min7.1 / 10

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.
