About
You’ll like Kick-Ass if you enjoy irreverent superhero comedy with escalating street-level mayhem and bold performances, and you don’t mind its rough edge; Not for you if you’re squeamish about gore or profanity, or if you prefer clean, family-friendly superhero fun like Kingsman: The Secret Service or Deadpool.
Pros: smart superhero satire; punchy action; standout chemistry | Cons: very graphic violence; heavy profanity; uneven pacing
