Kick-Ass (2010) from holli on Vimeo.
Saw it a couple of nights ago, probably one of the best films i have seen, totally re imagines the comic book genre, perfect mix of comedy, irony and brutal violence, accomplished performances from all the actors including a truly brilliant performance from a back on form Nic Cage.
Matthew Vaughn as director improves his portfolio with this film, taking everything he learnt from lock stock, snatch, layer cake and stardust and tweaking it ever so slightly, as it was totally funded by his company and Brad Pitt, there were no studios to tell him to tone anything down and the result is a film that he wanted to make and we wanted to see. He is one of the only directors making films this way and it works for him perfectly. If you can see it, go see it.
