Good action scenes...and that's it.
A young man is drawn into applying to be a secret agent with the highly secretive organisation, Kingsman. Meanwhile a multi- billionaire is plotting something massive and catastrophic for mankind, aided by his assistant, Oscar Pistorius in drag.
I was hoping for something clever, character-based or with a good plot, or maybe even a James Bond parody. Alas, this is none of those. It is basically a fairly poor ripoff of a James Bond movie: less plot and less humour but more explosions and action scenes.
The action does carry it though and there is hardly a dull moment.
Overall, reasonably tense and (mindlessly) entertaining but certainly not a must-see.
