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

Stylised to a fault, "Kingsman" is an incredible adventure that starts off a bit heavy-handed but soon becomes an effortlessly cool blend of pastiche, humour, action, intelligence, and heart - and one of the best comic movies of the last decade.

Colin Firth and Taron Edgerton give excellent performances, especially Firth - this is a role where, cleverly, he both plays against type and entirely to his pre-existing strengths. The church scene involving his character is easily my favourite action movie sequence since the elevator scene in "Drive" and kept my jaw on the floor throughout.
