Newcomer juvenile lead Taron Egerton -- handsome, bright, Welsh -- has promise. He should be moved in the direction of a good movie.

Although there's nothing much to take away from the film, Kingsman: The Secret Service is a highly entertaining film with fascinating characters and non-stop action from beginning to end.

Deep Focus Review

Vaughn has proven himself an expert at adapting stories of such ilk, and here's another one—a film that seems to belong on the comic's page, but Vaughn brings it to the screen with a hilariously depraved edginess.

Rated: 3/4

Donavin D

One of my favorite spy films of all time, Kingsman: The Secret Service delivers with a clear and confident tone, top-notch action scenes, and my favorite performance by Colin Firth. It’s an absolute must-see. Essentially a comic book version of James Bond, Kingsman embraces its over-the-top style and runs with it. The villain may be more mustache-twirling than truly menacing, but that exaggerated quality fits perfectly within the film’s universe. While the movie is strong overall, one scene stands above the rest—the infamous church scene. Set to "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, this one-shot action set piece is a masterclass in choreography, pacing, and style. It’s frenetic, brutal, and quite possibly the best one shot I have ever seen. Honestly, I could watch it on a loop forever. The overarching plot doesn’t break new ground. If you’ve seen a few spy or action films, you’ll likely guess where it’s going. But Kingsman makes up for with flair, personality and humor. It takes familiar genre tropes and presents them in wildly inventive, stylized ways. If you’re looking for something visually exciting, genuinely funny, and packed with standout performances and unforgettable action, Kingsman: The Secret Service should be high on that list.

Couldn't finish it, Samuel L Jackson's acting was so bad in this and I usually love what he does but not this time.
