Kick-Ass (2010) is a darkly comedic action film directed by Matthew Vaughn, based on the comic book of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. The film follows Dave Lizewski, a regular high school student who decides to become a superhero despite lacking any powers or combat skills. His vigilante antics attract the attention of other crime-fighting characters, such as the lethal father-daughter duo Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, and the equally eccentric villain, Red Mist. The film is known for its blend of stylized violence, satire, and over-the-top action sequences, making it both a subversive take on the superhero genre and an entertaining, adrenaline-filled ride.
The Kick-Ass soundtrack is a dynamic and eclectic mix that perfectly complements the film's high-energy action and irreverent tone. It features a combination of contemporary rock, pop, and orchestral music, with contributions from artists like The Prodigy and Ellie Goulding, and a score by composer John Murphy. Notable tracks include "Omen" by The Prodigy and "Make Me Wanna Die" by The Pretty Reckless, which amplify the film's rebellious and edgy atmosphere. Murphy's "In the House, In a Heartbeat," initially made famous in 28 Days Later, also makes a striking appearance, underscoring key dramatic scenes with intensity and emotion.
