A secret with a twist

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2016)

This movie took a different approach on the usual secret service spy related movie, and it definitely paid off. Instead of seeing an experienced spy, it was a much younger group of new recruits who would go through training to become the one of the experienced elite ones. It was cool to see the beginning times for an agent in the secret service.
Eggsy, played by Taron Egerton, is one of the young recruits for the Kingsman Secret Service. His father was a former spy for the Kingsman, but he was killed during a mission that went wrong. Eggsy was recruited by his father's partner Harry Hart, played by Colin Firth. Hart felt obligated to look after Eggsy because of his father's death.
The training challenges were pretty intense and demanding. They were fast paced and rapidly built to high suspense. The fighting choreography was extremely innovative by mixing in parkour throughout the scenes.
Overall, this movie surpassed any expectations I had for it based on what was shown in the previews.
