“It follows a comic book-obsessed teen who reinvents himself as a crime-fighting hero, with one glaring problem: he has no training or actual superpowers,” reads the synopsis for Kick-Ass. “In a near-death confrontation with a ruthless drug dealer, Kick-Ass is rescued by a pair of costumed, highly skilled vigilantes — Big Daddy and his daughter, Hit Girl. When they all join forces along with another rookie avenger called Red Mist, a brutal mobster and object of Big Daddy’s vengeance pushes their alliance and skills to the brink.”

Kick-Ass was based on Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s Marvel comic book series of the same name. The superhero comedy was directed by Matthew Vaughn, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jane Goldman. It featured Aaron Taylor- Johnson, Nicolas Cage, and Chloë Grace Moretz as vigilantes, who teamed up against Mark Strong’s mob boss Frank D’Amico. It received a Certified Fresh rating of 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 265 reviews.
