Morris Chestnut

Conventional, lacking in depth, and reliant on the artifical tension of action scenes to goose along an otherwise watchable but dull movie.

McCarthy is a worthy successor to John Candy, who also had a gift for warming up caricatures with loveable humanity.

Give this to Kick-Ass 2: it's never boring...Even so, Kick-Ass has lost most of its transgressive charge along with its element of surprise and its heroes' disturbingly unwavering conviction.
