How could top drawer actors produce such garbage?

Rating: 1/10 (29 March 2015)

What to say about Kingsman?, let me put it this way ... If offered a choice between watching Kingsman and bathing in sulphuric acid I would urge you to choose the acid bath - it will be a far less painful experience. How on earth did top drawer actors like Michael Caine, Colin Firth and Samuel L Jackson get dragged into it? We're they drugged or blackmailed ? Those are the only explanations I can think of. The film just doesn't know what it wants to be - should it be a serious, edgy thriller? Should it be a rollicking adventure like Men in Black (which incidentally it shamelessly steals from)? Should it be a modern take on the bond theme. In the end it just turns out to be a steaming pile of ordure - note to the film's director and/or editor - if your movie is in trouble and you're not quite sure which direction to go with it don't, repeat don't, just fill it with expletives and exploding heads in the hope that you make it 'edgy'. It won't save your movie, it really won't. It will just show how bereft of ideas and talent you are.
