Review of Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) by Duncan1964 — 13 Feb 2015

With Kingsman Matthew Vaughn does for the spy movie what he did for the superhero movie with Kick Ass. An over the top action film that will have you gasping and laughing in equal measure. Vaughn's masterstroke is casting Colin Firth as the hero spy and having him kick ass in a way that we have never seen before.

There are amazing stand out sequences (the church, the pub, the Land Of Hope And Glory finale) but what makes the film work are the little touches and the clever references to spy films of the past.
