This an action comedy film addressed to younger audiences, heavy on gruesome violence and gleeful profanity.
Main star is 12 y.o. Chloë Grace Moretz who steals all the attention with her performance and her action scenes. Nicolas Cage plays her father and looks and acts ridiculous even in some really disturbing scenes.
This movie has a rather unique visual style. Unevenly Joyful to much the extremely bloody violence. In some fighting scenes looks like a multicolor version of the Matrix.
The music and songs aren't always suitable but it seems like the director chose this tongue-in-chick approach to remind you that this is nothing more than plain entertainment.
Overall: If you don't mind the gruesome violence and you have strong suspension of disbelief, check it out.
