Kingsman: The Secret Service 
There is absolutely nothing original about
Kingsman: The Secret Service and that's okay as it's not trying to reinvent the wheel here. Hell, it's an homage to all things
James Bond, Jason Bourne and
Jack Bauer, which by the way was a great nod to fans of any of those characters. Everything that happens in
Kingsman: The Secret Service is in some way lifted from the best moments from previous Spy films and TV shows. Now, what is original is in how
Matthew Vaughn goes about translating the story to the big screen. Obviously the best scenes are the fight sequences because of their kinetic energy and how they were filmed. They are so over the top ridiculous in its choreography that it makes the same scenes in
The Matrix look slow and dull by comparison. The way the movie was shot reminded me of
Guy Ritchie at times.
The cast of characters in Kingsmen really sell it and make the plot hum along. Never in a million years would I have
Colin Firth as a legit Action Hero and he pulls it off and makes it look easy, without ever breaking a sweat. He owns it here.
Sam Jackson is great as the Villain. I'm glad they got
Michael Caine in this as well. I was half expecting him to name-drop Austin Powers in some way.

I highly recommend this as a
Rent, although I'm sure I will eventually
Buy a copy for myself down the road.
