An exquisite action movie

Rating: 8/10 (14 February 2016)

There is directors that were inspired by the Bond films to make a parody out of it, such as "Austin Powers" (film series). Than there are movies like "Kingsman: The Secret Service" that does a good job taking the certain concepts of it like the gentlemen spy elements than adding there own touches to it. And this film really does succeed when it comes to the entertainment value of it all. I mean this is what the Alex Rider movie should have been. There has been movies about kids or teens becoming a secret agent and working for a agency. But I think this took the formula and polished it to the point where teens and adults can thoroughly enjoy it. It has a good build up, stand out characters and villains and well choreographed action sequences. Add good special effects with a story-line that is coherent and fits together well. Then you got yourself a action movie that is really worth seeing. It's a action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, but it's really not campy either. Which makes this a balanced action movie when it comes to that department. Overall this is a exquisite film that I would recommend. It's quite fun.
