Kick-Ass (2010)
“Our once and, hopefully, future Hit Girl. Watching a pint-size eleven-year-old murderize a whole roomful of knife- and gun-wielding thugs is quite something, but the gleeful, little-girl smiles she shoots at Aaron Johnson’s Kick-Ass elevate the character from gimmick to iconic. She is so much more than just a Powerpuff Girl brought to life – and that’s why you can expect Comic Con ‘10 to be overrun with thousands of purple-haired, black-masked tributes. She will deliver us from Bella Swan.
And Moretz is no precocious Dakota Fanning-esque child star: she’s got the natural charm and self-posession of a young Jodie Foster.”

“The engine behind the mayhem is Chloe Moretz, who basically steals the show as a miniature killing machine. As previously mentioned, Kick-Ass is violent, and the film always seem to place Hit Girl in the middle of the hardest violence. She is shown gunning people down, shooting them in the face, cutting off their legs with swords, and stabbing them with knives. Casting such a young actress in this role may seem questionable, but this character is part of the overall risk taking that gives Kick-Ass its edge.”
- Rodney Perkins, Twitch Film
“Chloe Moretz has to be the star of the show. She plays Hit Girl perfectly with the ability to get every one liner and she pulls of the action every time. I’m sure that there will be a flood of Hit Girls on the Cosplay scene very soon!”
- Lord Shaper, The Furnace
