KINGSMAN is cinema royalty

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2015)

With "KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE", Matthew Vaughn secures his position as one of my five favorite directors. I've seen virtually all of Vaughn's previous films ("STARDUST", "KICK-A**", and "X-MEN: FIRST CLASS), but this one assures his place among one of Hollywood's best filmmakers. This high-tech espionage action-comedy-thriller has great acting, a highly involving story, and (best of all) over-the-top action and violence. I actually gave this film a standing ovation, and I don't give that to a lot of films I go see. I highly recommend "KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE". It delivers more than it promises, and it is one of the most entertaining films of this or any other year.
