Kingsman is well worth a watch, although nothing unique

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2019)

Kingsman the secret service is very funny, genuinely funny and will undoubtedly make you laugh. Colin Firth and Mark Strong are excellent, in what is a typical spy movie. Its laurels lie on playing on the spy theme, and the recycled recruitment stage of a new spy much like films such as 'Stormbreaker'. Unfortunately the threat and plot of this movie is nothing special either however where it excels is providing the unexpected. The humour and directing is very Edgar Wright and the action very straight forward and gruesome like Quentin Tarantino's work. Kingsman is well worth a watch, although nothing unique its very entertaining.
