19 Apr – Viewers who attended the preview screening of comic-turned-film "Kick-Ass" recently at Cathay Cineplex were in for a treat as an 11-year-old, purple-haired vigilante stole the show with kick-ass, violent scenes and an extended vocabulary.

HEROES: Kick-Ass (Aaron Johnson) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz).

Beware of this violent, young vigilante.

Based on the comic book series by Scotsman Mark Millar and directed by Matthew Vaughn, audiences were stunned to witness 13-year-old actress Chloe Moretz ("500 Days Of Summer") who plays Hit Girl, swear like a trooper and perform like a professional weapon-wielding hitman. According to viewer Ariel Yoong, "There were some controversial issues regarding the young girl acting in such a violent role, but it was really a breath of fresh air seeing her so independent unlike those bratty little girls we usually see on screen."

Rated 18, under the National Censorship Board's new ratings system in Malaysia, audiences were pleased to see less censorship towards the movie's violent, action sequences and foul languages. After the preview, viewers were asked what they thought about the movie and how many stars would they give out of five.

Norman Choo : "To be honest, it was excellent! I went in not expecting much but it surprised me by being a great movie. I think it was a great move to include such a character like Hit Girl who is so young. Her swearing on screen made her more realistic and interesting to watch. 5 stars."

Wai Kong : "It was too violent and I thought it was suppose to be a comedy! Nonetheless, it was still enjoyable. As for Hit Girl, she was fantastic and possessed awesome fighting skills. Overall, the movie was syiok! 4 stars."

Ariel Yoong (Left) : "I enjoyed it very much! My favourite character was Hit Girl because she was very funny. There were some controversial issues regarding the young girl acting in such a violent role, but it was really a breath of fresh air seeing her so independent unlike those bratty little girls we usually see on screen. 4.5 stars!"

Winnie Kok : "A great movie and I found it extremely funny. The movie was quite violent especially Chloe, the girl who acts as Hit Girl. I didn't expect the swearing and she is definitely the heroine to look out for. I rate this movie with 3.5 stars."

Noor Sahlan (Left): "I enjoyed the movie immensely! It was so good and it truly deserves 5 stars. I was quite surprised by the young girl but it was really interesting to watch her in that role."

Chee Cheng : "Good movie and it was more than what I expected. I was pretty surprised as the girl was so young and she was swearing! 4 stars."
