Review of Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) by Jess_Hill — 11 Jul 2015

Fantastic, unexpected, jubilant and occasionally ridiculous fun. The performances are well executed yet a little odd, the dialogue is great and the storyline is absolutely compelling and thoroughly engaging.

I wasn't sold until around twenty minutes in, when I found myself laughing with disbelief at the sheer joy with which the film treats the genre. Masterful choreography and cinematography mean the action sequeces are delightful, and whilst there are a few moments which fell flat, overall this is a really enjoyable experience and a lot of fun at the cinema.

8.
