Stylish and impetuous entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2015)

Brits are famous for their spy(ing) films, and the even the financial and/or human participation of Americans has not generally spoiled them :) Kingsman: The Secret Service is another fine example of quality entertainment where introduction of new faces for younger generation (Taron Egerton, Sophie Cookson) has been giftedly combined of the participation of known and rewarded character actors: Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson (the funniest and most distinctive), Mark Strong, Michael Caine, with Firth and Caine being Academy Award winners! As for the plot, it is rather witty, true, one has to know many previous similar films to make the most of certain lines, events and references, as the film in question is a real "child" of multiple films beginning with James Bond at least... But still, no more maze runners and divergents, please, but more quality cinema where humour and action are combined without factitious course of events and leaning on cute young faces only.
