Kingsman: The Secret Service review! First movie of the year and let me tell you, it's a good movie to start off the year. The movie is absolutely awesome. Here's an upfront warning: this movie is not kid friendly at all. Hence it is rated 18 in the cinemas. Plenty of swearing and violence. This movie was directed by Matthew Vaughn and if you have watched his previous movie, Kick-Ass, you will know what to expect for an adult film. Nonetheless, still a fun film to watch.
This movie is about a group of independent British secret service spies who works in the shadows while wearing suits to maintain a gentlemen image. Somewhat like James Bond but only, they get more 'hands on'. This movie follows Eggsy, a young men in his early 20s, who was recruited by Harry Hart, a Kingsman agent. Eggsy's father was a Kingsman agent himself but he sacrifice himself to save Harry and the other agents. Harry feels he is obliged to take care of Eggsy whenever he needs him until one day he received a call for help from Eggsy. He then takes Eggsy under his wing to train him to be a new generation of Kingsman agent.
As you may have know, this movie is filled with English actors, hence you will expect them to swear alot in this movie. The movie is action packed and the fighting sequences are well choreograph. There is not much car chase scene except for one but majority of the action are hand to hand combat fights. The jokes are no less either. The violence are abit over the top and they tend to make it funny. Yes, limbs will fly left and right. One of the villain in the movie that was unique was Gazelle, the assistant to Samuel L. Jackson's character. She uses bladed prosthetic legs as her weapons and it was interesting to see her slash down the enemies. Samuel L. Jackson's character here is abit...out of his usual character. He seems so off and awkward playing this villain role.
Overall, the movie is a fun ride. Seeing the actors fighting in suits while still maintaining composure is pretty damn epic. Makes me want to make my own suit. Colin Firth is still in pretty good shape to do an action movie eventhough he is in his 50s. Totally a must watch movie. All I can say is; James Bond, you can eat your heart out! I give this movie a 9 out of 10. I shall end this review with one of the sayings in this movie: 'Manners maketh man'.
