Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)


Written and Directed by Matthew Vaughn, Kingsman: The Secret Service stars Eggsy (played by Taron Egerton), a local delinquent, as he comes across the secret world of a shadow spy agency, The Kingsman. Codenamed Lancelot (played by Colin Firth), takes Eggsy under his wing in the hope of developing his potential and finding rank among the Kingsman all while attempting to uncover the villainous plot of Valentine (played by Samuel L. Jackson). With a cast of diverse and quirky characters, this film breathes new life into the spy film genre. Adding themes of satire intertwined with hard-core and exhilarating action, the film offers a fast paced story that keeps the audience engaged. The interesting heroes are pleasantly complimented by an equally interesting villain, who adds greatly to the general quirkiness of the film as well as provides a lot of the humour. The overall plot and screenplay however is what brings life to it all, with the world of The Kingsman completely immersing the viewer, presenting a universe that just fits within the realm of realism, making you wish it really did exist. This film ticks off all the boxes; a good villain, interesting heroes, a great plot and ridiculous action. A must see!
