This is hands down the most unapologetically violent film I have ever seen or probably will see in the next decade and be warned, this is the brand of violence that is designed to make you remember war is hell. I loved it, make no mistake. It's a film I might recommend you to watch once, but you would probably never want to watch it again.
To cut the story short, this film took the premise of Kickass were Kickass didn't dare to go. What if a single, sociopathic loner tried to take on a drug dealing gang dressed as a defender of justice? Super answers the question with relentless detail.
Overall, I think this film is a masterpiece. It has a unique pacing and style, bringing ideas and feelings almost alien to cinema thus far. The characters are brutally real and their stories painfully honest. The film is funny, it's laugh out loud hilarious, but only with the darkest most messed up humor I have ever seen. It's weird to admit, but I, at 22 years of age, felt the guilty rush of watching something that I wasn't old enough for. I doubt that at 50 I would feel ready to deal with something this adult.
Super reflects the most cynical side of human nature. The personal search for meaning in the depths of despair is prevalent throughout this harrowing tale and the end of the journey doesn't pull it's punches. Religion plays a very important role in this story. Paradoxically, it is handled with the most tasteless blasphemy and most serene respect.
This is probably one of the weirdest films you will ever watch guaranteed, but it works. This movie will tear you to shreds as a person.
