Kick-Ass 2

Kick-Ass 2 (2013) sees the titular hero's reckless courage incite a rash of would-be vigilantes, who rally under the inept leadership of Colonel Stars and Stripes. As these amateurs face extermination by the vengeful Red Mist, reborn as the brutal Mother-Fucker, the film hinges on Hit-Girl's relentless pursuit of justice. Director Jeff Wadlow's sequel mines dark comedy from the chaos, but struggles to balance its adolescent humor with the graphic violence that defines its characters' struggles.
