Kingsman: The Secret Service
UK 2014, 129 minutes
Dir. Matthew Vaughn
Rating: [R16] Violence and offensive language
Genres: Action/Adventure, Comedy / Spy, Spoof
“the riskiest mainstream movie in years, Vaughn's love letter to spy movies may be uneven in places, but it's ultra-violent, envelope-pushing, and fun enough to overcome the flaws.”
Aroview: Good-natured, violent spoof in which gentleman spy Colin Firth recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the ultra-competitive training program of his secret agency, just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius (Samuel L. Jackson).
Like a James Bond film on steroids (ala Tarantino), the director of KICK ASS provides supreme entertainment in spades, notwithstanding a controversial massacre scene, and a coda that quite literally hits a bum-note.

4 stars (Very Good) As derivative as it is in some ways, it seems positively refreshing after the "grim and gritty" turn in the Bond franchise. What a "blockbuster" mainstream Hollywood film should be. ~SteveParkes
2 stars (Good Try) There is some good acting talent sitting around underused and looking out of place. ~Tubbs
