Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)

A perfect movie for both Matrix and James Bond lovers. If you need a good laugh, this movie is perfect for you.

Directed by Matthew Vaughn

Eggsy’s (Taron Egerton) dad, a spy, dies in action as Eggsy was just a young boy. When he and his mom got the news, his dad’s best friend and colleague Harry Hart (Colin Firth) gave him a pendant with a number on the back. 17 years later he uses the number to be recruited and trained as an agent by Harry. While Harry investigates the death of a fallen Kingsman, he comes to find a certain Professor Arnold (Mark Hamill) and discovers a plot by the billionaire Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) who wants to destroy mankind because he considers us a virus. He dies and Eggsy full of revenge comes swooping in and saves the day. Little does he know that he meets the love of his life.

Taron Egerton delivers a great performance as Eggsy and puts his charm into the character.

Colin Firth puts his knowledge into Harry and makes the character unique. He makes the movie great with the line: “Manners Maketh Man”

Samuel L. Jackson once again overwhelms with a perfect show as the villain Valentine.

Mark Strong puts his charming accent into this great character Merlin. He puts on a great show as the strict but hilarious IT-Guy.

I personally find this movie so good. When I first watched it I couldn’t stop smiling. It has the action with a good portion of humour. It nicely combines the stunts of Matrix and the references of James Bond. This is a great movie to watch with your friends.
