This movie
is an action film based off of a group of spies known as the Kingsmen. Colin Firth plays the part of Harry Hart
(code name Galahad) who is a member of the Kingsmen. During a mission in the Middle East, one of
the members is killed. Harry goes to
visit the family of the fallen member which includes a young boy, Gary. Harry
leaves his number for them to call if they are ever in need of assistance.
Years later,
Gary who is known as Eggsy, gets into trouble and lands in jail. Gary decides to call Harry. Harry gets him out and sees potential in
him. After the death of one of their
members, the leader of the Kingsmen, played by Michael Cain, asks each Kingsman
to suggest one person who they feel can replace their lost member. Harry chooses Eggsy, who is played by Taron
Egerton, and so begins Eggsy’s training to become a Kingman. Eggsy is initially not chosen but is later
brought back.
Samuel L.
Jackson plays the part of Richmond Valentine, a very rich man interested in
surviving Global Warming who is developing a plan to lessen the harm to the
environment. The Kingsmen are brought
into investigate Valentine after several VIP’s begin to disappear.
I really
enjoyed this movie, especially Colin Firth, Michael Cain, Samuel L. Jackson,
and the others. Samuel L. Jackson was
terrific in the part of the bad guy. I
thought the writing was crisp and well-thought-out. The action scenes were amazing. The stunt guys really earned their pay in
this one.
I gave this movie 3 out of 4
stars.
