The Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) Film Review

Thinking about seeing Kingsman: The Secret Service, if you don't take life too seriously then go see it. Yes - there is significant violence but nothing really we haven't seen before in cinema history.On the other side of the coin there is lots of comedy and some great action sequences which you have come to expect from the director - Michael Vaughan of X-Men: First Class fame. Colin Firth's action man role James Bond 007 type is far removed from his breakout role in the Pride & Prejudice (BBC) as Mr Darcy and goes to illustrate how he continues to explore other acting roles.

Samuel L. Jackson is fantastic as the villain with a very comic script and unique lisp. These two key roles are well supported by the rest of the other cast members. A sequel may follow which should enjoy the same positive film review i have given here if handled in the same way. In conclusion, this installment will please to most looking for a couple of hours of escapism, action, comedy and a few good pop songs tossed in for good measure.
