I'm pleased to report that this is a movie that well & truly lives up to it's title and in addition to that also does a really great job of providing the viewer with a supremely entertaining tribute to the comic book genre. Although the central character (a normal guy with no special powers to speak of apart from being able to take a real beating due to permanent nerve damage) is interesting enough, it's actually 'Hit-Girl' & 'Big Daddy' that turn out to be the real stars of the show.
In fact, most of the controversy surrounding this flick actually relates to the relationship between both of these characters as essentially we're being asked to empathise with a father that has robbed his daughter of her childhood simply because he wishes to gain revenge against an individual who dealt him an injustice in the past.
However, it should be said that the makers of this flick don't exactly dwell on this particular aspect & consequently this movie remains a fast paced, must-see action flavoured comedy that contains a truly hilarious Adam West impression by the excellent Nicolas Cage.
Razorback Rating = Superb
