An awesome fun film with great acting and memorable violence

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2015)

I didn't see Kingsman in cinemas. I was at a store, saw it on sale and picked it up. I didn't expect to much, yeah it had Colin Firth and Samuel L Jackson on the cover but i still thought it would be a boring 007 knockoff. Boy was i wrong. This film is awesome! It had a cool plot, great action and an awesome cast. Seriously, i don't think that there was a weak cast member. All the performances were solid especially Taron Egerton as Eggsy. I went into the film expecting a film aimed at teen audiences but this film easily earns its R rating. There is one particular scene which depicted some extremely graphic violence. It caused controversy but it sort of acts as a statement that this film is not for kids. They handled the scene in a comedic way which at least makes it enjoyable to watch. Its scenes like this however, that make the film so memorable. I say definitely check it out. Its my movie of the year so far. Great entertainment!
