Kick-Ass expertly blends side-splitting humor with bone-shattering action and the result is something endlessly entertaining. It will do for superheroes what Zombieland did for the undead.
One downtrodden detective looking for redemption. One star witness set to testify against corrupt cops who are gunning for him. 16 Blocks to the courthouse. You get the picture.
The title really says it all: Even with a top-notch cast, The Human Stain is only an imprint rather than a cohesive film. Read the novel instead to get the whole picture.
