Fun action comedy with a couple of grizzly scenes and a Colin Firth full of style and finesse.

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2015)

(I don't expect anyone is reading this, since this is the ...426th review posted, but here goes!) This is an over-the-top action movie build on the British style of Roger Moore's 007 and the "The Avengers" (TV Series 1961–1969).
I can think a couple of actors who might be suitable for the main role but the finesse and elegance of Colin Firth is beyond any criticism and the main reason to see this movie. You might never believed that Firth could pose as an action hero but in the league of 55-65 spy-type assassins gives ...Liam Neeson a run for his money.
The direction is stylish too and its main purpose to please the audience. Lots of slo-mo effects, one-vs-100 fighting sequences, sky diving, many many explosions etc. Not the boring type. This movie has good action choreography that becomes even more fun when you see Colin Firth delivering it! The script is overall clever although the premise is common. The wealthy evil mastermind vs. "a" British secret service (not MI6), but even that idea has held some sarcasm for itself.
With the exception of a couple scenes near the end that are crossing the line to the ridiculous this movie has some emotions too.
Overall: Recommended
