Manners maketh a man. Gentlemen are always in demand in society, the same way gentlemen spy are in demand for action movie lovers. Inspired by 007, this group of people have set an impecabble standard and taste for foiling plots, saving the world and of course, the state-of-the-art..............................................suits. (You thought I was gonna say gadgets, didnt you. Ya that too.)
First off, let me start with a statutory warning. This genre is not Oscar material nor it is to satisfy everyone's taste bud. If this movie's trailer made you feel weird, it's best if you stay with the Oscar-worthy movies (No offence).
Kingsman:The Secret Service ,as the name goes, is a secret organization (not related to any governments) that does what it does best. When a top agent's guilt makes him recruit a hot-head youngster, things get interesting. Meanwhile evil draws a projectile which brings Kingsman into the play.
The cast has brought a lot of variety into the movie. Colin Firth (yes, the King from King's Speech) pumps the screen with adrenaline, which is actually unlike him, but enjoyable none-the-less. Michael Caine does what he always does. Samuel Jackson is the icing on cake, with his short-tongued English and allergy to the sight of blood (yes, a villain who can't stand blood) is a fun to watch, right till the end.Michael Caine's lack of character usage is felt , not while watching, but while post-morteming it.
Mark Strong is another strong presence.
When a middle-eastern-fort starts blowing, the bricks fall down and forms the words of "20th-century-fox", it's clear that the movie is all about fun, despite the guns and bloods. The beauty of the movie is that it doesn't try to be something else. It sticks with the fun till the end.
An Ex. Sam Jackson shoots a man and starts walking away because he can't stand blood. He, then asks his assisstant.
Jackson: Is he dead?
Assistant: That's what happens when you shoot someone in the head. Feels good, doesn't it.
Jackson : No it's feels f**king aweful.
Sarcastic humours is sprinkled all over. A dog with the name J.B (which Michael Caine abbreviates as James Bond, Jason Bourne), an almost direct reference to Obama, sarcasm on Newspapers too (Look out for the paper cutting on the wall with headlines "Brad Pitt ate my sandwich").
Bullets, guns, blood dominate the screen which gets gory at times. So, fair warning.
This isn't a "Wanted" style action movie nor is it Jackie Chan styled. It's somewhere in the middle but makes a mark of its own.
You are bound to enjoy it.
