Based upon the acclaimed comic book and directed by Matthew Vaughn, Kingsman: The Secret Service tells the story of a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.

Review
A genre-bending flick that turns James Bond on its head, 'Kingsman' injects violent kinetics, comic-book humour and suave gentlemanliness into the mix of a fun, twisted world of spy cliches. Vaughn's distinguishably exciting style in helming comic-book movie is one of a kind, as most of his comic book features are universally gory and fashionably fun. Enter Taron Egerton, a newbie who is poised to be Britain's next cool import. Apart from that, Colin Firth steals the spotlight with his uber-cool personality and debonair manner (No one says the word 'fuck' as charming as he does). Apart from that, expect countless WTF moments seamlessly threaded here and there within the action sequences. The only downside to this flick is the feeling of wanting more at the end. A guaranteed great time at the cinemas from the usual dark, broodingly serious kind of comic-book movie.
