How many reviews of this film had had that title I wonder. Went to see this today after hearing good things via word of mouth but having avoided the marketing blitz, as a result I went in not knowing what to expect and came away pleasantly surprised. The movie centres around the question every comic book fan has always pondered, why hasn't anyone donned a mask in the real world and fought crime like their favourite super heroes ? The result is an action packed feast for the eyes with some awe inspiring set pieces and fight sequences. Likewise the characters are fantastic especially the young "Hit-Girl" and Nicolas Cage's "Big Daddy", both of whom steal the show with a good performance from the other cast members many of whom are relative unknowns. Expertly paced this movie really is the perfect leave your brain at the door flick. Finally the soundtrack gives the fight scenes that extra wow factor ("In a Heartbeat" might be the best song to chorography a shootout). Highly recommend movie and I look forward to the inevitable sequel. Go see it now.
