Super

Loved it! Glad I finally got to see it, and still don't know if it's every going to get a release in Australia. It goes places even Kick-Ass wouldn't touch, especially in the insane finale where James Gunn really shows his Troma filmmaking roots. Such a bloodbath! Brutal, psychotic and hilarious and even shocking and sad in moments.

Ellen Page is just priceless as Boltie. Even more insane, and filled with such glee, than Rainn Wilson. Kevin Bacon is also a stand out here as the bad guy that steals his wife. They are all just a joy to watch. Liv Tyler gets drugged out raped by a black guy too, so that's good.

I'd liken this to Observe and Report, a film I thought was the best comedy of the year but one that no-one else seemed to like at all. The way they find some very dark humour in these deeply disturbed characters is right up my alley.

Immensely enjoyable, keep an eye out for it, or just order it from overseas where's it's been available for months.
