Kingsman 1

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2020)

This movie is nuts. It's a hyper-stylized spy thriller doped up on steroids and a little LCD.
It is soooooo much fun though. Parts of it are pure nonsense and if you stop to think about any of it realistically it falls apart but it's not trying to be Bond. Quite the contrary, a big part of this is spoofing on old spy flicks.
Performances are all spot on, even Jackson's ridiculous lisp feels like it somehow fits in this crazy world. It's the action though that makes this. There are seems of raw heart pounding, edge of your seat, cheering them on as they take on the world moments that make me want to stand up and cheer them on and that is so rare for me.
Again, bonkers movie but it knows exactly what it is and it nails it. Absolutely a good time.
