Mindy, aka Kick-Ass and Hit Girl return in Kick-Ass 2. After the events of the first film, the duo has inspired Justice Forever - a new group of citizens who cape-up and fight crime in the city led by the born-again mobster, Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey). Everything looks to be bone-shatteringly peaceful, until the return of the Red Mist (re- born as the Mother Fucker), who makes it his sole purpose to eliminate the crime-fighting team.

Jeff Wadlow has taken over the director’s chair from Matthew Vaughan, but don’t worry – it still has the dark, threatening undertone that made the first such a success. See it if you like schoolgirls with swords, fast-paced fight scenes set to cool music or funny one-liners. I like all three. Smiley
