The movie itself is a comic book adaptation from the writers of “Kick Ass”, Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, which Vaughn also adapted for the big screen back in 2010, and centers on the idea of a super-secret spy organization known as the Kingsman. One such “Kingsman” is Harry Hart, aka Galahad, played by Colin Firth. While Firth is an unlikely action star, I got the impression he didn’t do many of his own stunts and even then it felt like a lot of CGI was used to pull off a lot of what took place here, much in the way the Wachowskis used CGI for Neo in Matrix

The brash but naturally talented Eggsy is invited to try out for the Kingsmen, competing against a small group of other young hopefuls (including a sole female initiate gamely played by Sophie Cookson) for a single opening. Meanwhile, Harry and his compatriots start to suss out Valentine’s plan, one that will see our reliance on technology bring about a culling of the human race.

This film has a great balance of action and comedy. It’s definitely a good reason to check out this film. Another interesting thing is that the angles of the camera, especially during fighting scenes. In most action films, the camera gets very shaky and confusing. Kingsman took that effect but did it just right, in such a way most action films can’t seem to accomplish. There was no confusion and no distractions. There was nothing that could take you away from being engaged in the film.

To make it short, I’d have to recommend this movie to anyone looking for a great scare and a good laugh. I wouldn’t recommend anyone under the age of ten to see the movie.
