RENEE MONTAGNE, host:

And now to a movie about a teen superhero that film critic Kenneth Turan says may be toxic to some parents but is poised to become a pop culture phenomenon.

KENNETH TURAN: "Kick-Ass" is the movie our parents warned us about, the movie you don't want your children to see. It's a shrewd mixture of slickly made comic book violence, unapologetic sweetness, and earsplitting profanity.

The sweetness comes first, as teenageprotagonist Dave makes the decision to be a superhero named Kick-Ass - even though, as he himself puts it, my only superpower was being invisible to girls.

(Soundbite of music)

TURAN: Kick-Ass becomes an Internet phenomenon who ends up fighting all kinds of crime, with the hooligans and the good guys mixing it up in an ultraviolent "Kill Bill" kind of way.

(Soundbite of music)

TURAN: Going the vigilante route at the same time as our hero is a father and daughter team known as Big Daddy and Hit Girl, played by Nicolas Cage and Chloe Grace Moretz. Big Daddy loves his daughter, but for reasons of his own he has turned her into a pint-size profanity-spewing killing machine in a purple wig and pleated skirt.

Her language is so astonishingly crude that it has taken people's attention away from all the killing she does, which is mind-boggling as well. No wonder the MPAA gave "Kick-Ass" an R rating for, among other things, strong brutal violence throughout and pervasive language.

At the same time, if you're any kind of action film fan, it's difficult to deny the live-wire pulp energy of this extravaganza. It's as if the arguments about these hyperviolent action films - why are they popular, what have they done to our culture - have all opened for business in one convenient location. It may or may not be the end of civilization as we know it, but "Kick-Ass" is certainly Exhibit A of the here and now.

MONTAGNE: Kenneth Turan reviews movies for MORNING EDITION and the Los Angeles Times.
