It's a goofy action movie with manga influences. Nicholas Cage seems miscast & a bit uncomfortable but the hero is appealing (a teenage kid trying to do good as a super hero but without the super powers) and there's enough well executed (in every sense of the word) action to keep you engaged. Certainly isn't going to keep you guessing with subtle plot twists and turns, but will amuse. Certainly any film that has a 13 year old girl in a plaid skirt killing 5 guys with 5 shots while pulling a Barbie suitcase on wheels full of explosives can be considered "not your run of the mill action movie), watching a group of thugs trying to deal with torture in a modern wood mill is well funny (that could just be me, but think "can't cook an egg" and scale up) and the dialogue is sharp & witty. Consider this; henchman comes into room where big bad is hiding from fight:
Henchman: Hey boss, just came in to get something from the gun room.
Boss: What's going on out there??
Henchman: It's cool, we got it, it's all under control.
Boss: It's all under control. So you came in here to get a bazooka.
Henchman: Well, yeah, mostly under control. I'll get back to you on the rest.Get more detail about Kick-Ass (Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy).
