Review of Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) by Tvjerry — 18 Feb 2015

This snappy, somewhat satirical spin on the spy genre features Colin Firth as an elegant, but skilled agent of a secret international organization. He gets to be sophisticated, while kicking ass. He recruits a rough, but promising new kid (Taron Egerton) into the agency, just as the inevitable evil genius (Samuel L.

Jackson with a lisp) threatens to save and ruin the world. In addition several flashy fights and some cool concepts, there's a spirited script that ramps up the fun. Through it all, director Matthew Vaughn keeps the attitude upbeat and the pacing brisk.
