Review of Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) by Wnick2000 — 16 Feb 2015

This movie takes your typical action movie troupes and twists them in fun and exciting ways. Mathew Vaughn was a great choice for the director, because he's known for over the top, but very fun and stylish action and this movie is no exception.

Colin Firth is fantastic in the role and he did a lot of his own stunts, which is something I never thought I'd see from him. The cast also includes newcomer Taron Edgerton, who gives a fantastic performance and I can't wait to see where his career goes from here.

And of course, Samuel L. Jackson kills it in the role of Richmond Valentine, a villain who just screams campy, over the top James Bond villain. Overall, the movie is fantastic, and it manages to do a lot of things most action movies just can't get right, giving characters a purpose.
