Based on the comic book written by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr., Kick-Ass is the story of Dave Lizewski (Johnson), an ordinary teenager who goes unnoticed in high school until he takes a chance to “do something” and dons a mask and becomes “Kick-Ass” to fight real-life crime. Bruised and beaten and without any real super powers, he is saved by a father-daughter duo (Cage as “Big Daddy” and Moretz as “Hit-Girl”) who know all the right moves and have a vendetta against a vicious crime-lord, D'Amico (Strong). After a fiery Internet storm of publicity for Kick-Ass, D'Amico wants to meet the masked man, and his son (Mintz-Plasse) dons a costume of his own and becomes “Red Mist” to befriend him and get in his father's good graces. The story comes to a head when D'Amico succeeds in luring the crime-fighters to his home and ass-kicking destruction ensues. (Gary Reber)
