Good Brit fun action movie

Rating: 7/10 (2 December 2017)

This is a fun Brit movie. Doesn't take it self too seriously for an espionage movie. The Kingsman organization is a very old secret service and we follow a new recruit as he tries to make the grade with Colin Firth as his bad ass mentor who provides lots of kill thrills. Samuel Jackson is the worst villain in movie history. His lisp and sideways baseball cap is totally ridiculous and he is totally not believable in his roll as the evil anti-hero. And there is no explanation why an American black man is in this British film to begin with. The only explanation that I can think of is it is only to satisfy the film industry's liberal diversity quota. Would have enjoyed it more had they not chosen that path. If Samuel Jackson is in the sequel I probably won't be interested to in watching it. Not because of Samuel Jackson, who is a fine actor, but because he sucks at being a villain and I'm not into racial diversity quotas in movies.
