Here's a portion of that interview with Chloe Moretz about her character Hit Girl in Kick Ass (Though she refers to it as Kick-Butt when her parents are around).
MTV: And you're Hit-Girl, a bad ass little girl superhero.
Moretz: Yes, and Big Daddy is played by Nicolas Cage. We show up at his house, say, "We know about you," and he realizes we're real vigilantes. I've been trained since I was a baby to be this crazy assassin girl. What I like about the character is that she's an assassin, but at the same time she is still just an 11-year-old girl. She doesn't know any better; it's just how she was raised.
MTV: And none of these heroes have superpowers?
Moretz: No, just guns and knives and stuff.
MTV: Tell us about your favorite scene in the movie.
Moretz: When I go [to] kill a drug lord to get back at him — I think I kill 30 guys in, like, 30 seconds, in one corridor with two guns. Then I run out [of bullets], pick up another gun and shoot it, throw it at them, jump over a table and throw my legs forward, kicking [a bad guy] ... later, I get stuck in a cupboard and have to throw kitchen knives. It's so fun; it was the coolest thing ever.
MTV: And how much of this training is useful in real life? If you were in a Starbucks with your parents and somebody tried to hold it up, could you kick that guy's ass?
Moretz: I'd be terrified. [Laughs.] I'd probably cry, scream and be like, "Call 911! I don't want to die!"

I really find this movie hilarious. The over the top antics is really just fun to watch. Hoping this movie lives up to its hype.
