The star review system is not applicable when considering whether a title is available for rental or not. It should be applied to he quality of the film itself.

I haven't yet read the graphic novel but I was truly impressed by the how the now familiar concept - the slightly crap every-man turned slightly crap super hero - was given new life in highly stylised yet instantly enjoyable film. Aaron Johnson does a brilliant job in the lead role but the whole cast is on form, including (thank heavens) Nicholas Cage. Lizewski's hapless friends provide an extra comedic element, particularly Clark Duke's Marty. However, the most entertaining to watch is Chloe Grace Moretz as the foul mouthed, ultra-violent Hit Girl.
