Review of Super (2010) by Dave R — 29 Dec 2011
It's a black comedy without the comedy. Although it's much more unforgiving than Kick-Ass was, it makes me much more difficult to enjoy Frank's character as an insane killer. The awkward comedy worked in the first two acts but when it gets to the finale I honestly didn't know how to feel other than dark aura over my head.
And that's fine, I know that's what the film is trying to show in the glorification of violence and how suddenly, you stop cheering and actually feel awful but it still becomes hard for me to like Frank knowing he's mentally unstable.
If you want to see something else like Kick-Ass, I would recommend this. Just don't go in thinking this is a film where Rainn Wilson is in a suit acting goofy.
