Kingsman: The Secret Service directed by Matthew Vaughn


If you enjoy movies packed with action, sex appeal, and British humor, you will find that Kingsman: The Secret Service offers all that and more.  Director Matthew Vaughn ignites his own twist on action comedy with unique fighting scenes and witty humor.  When a young man becomes a trainee for a secret service organization, he is asked to compete against others in a series of unthinkable challenges.  However, it is nothing compared to the real test, the threat of world domination brought to the organization’s front door. 

An all-star cast, including Samuel L. Jackson, Collin Firth, and Michael Cane along with up and coming actor Taron Egerton, demonstrate a brilliant array of originality to a plot that seems to have been done time and time again.  With a crazed man consumed by the thought of world domination fought by strong, equipped, savvy agents, one would have thought that this is the same plot seen in all action movies.  Yet Matthew Vaughn does a remarkable job at introducing new ideas that separate this film from all other action films.  There is a touch of Quentin Tarantino like vibes throughout the film, especially in the individuality of the fight scenes.  It is understandable for that reason why not all would find this movie as great as I do, but if bloody great humor and bloody filled fights are your thing, I strongly recommend this terrific film.  Even if this movie does not sound like your cup of tea, the strong and sexy lead actors will change your mind with their charm and cool and collected looks, not to mention the incredible acting done by all of the cast in the movie. 

*R-rated film due to language and violence
