Kingsman: The Secret Service - Mini Review

Kingsman: The Secret Service
Rated R and Released in Grand Rapids 2/13/15
Reviewed 2/13/15 at Celebration North Theatre
with Gary

3 out of 5 Js in QUIET Rating System


This amusing action spy movie is satirical of a James Bond film. It is quirky and not to be taken too seriously. Gary and I both really liked it. Colin Firth plays agent Harry Hart, who feels indebted to Eggsy's (Taron Egerton) father who saved his life many years before. As a result of his sense of duty, Harry recruits a young Eggsy (who doesn't have any direction or much going for him) into training for the top secret society of agents. Fighting off adversaries, like wacko billionaire Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson), and saving the world is just the tip of the iceberg for his band of spies known as the Kingsman. It does have some of the comedic violence like Pulp Fiction so be aware and in spite of being a little long, it is a charmer.
