Storyline:
A young man named Eggsy whose father died when he was a young boy, is dealing with living with the creep his mother is with now, who mistreats her and him. He goes out and does something to one of the creep's friends. He gets arrested and he calls a number a man gave him around the time his father died, to call if he needs help. A man named Harry approaches him and tells him he's the one who helped him. He tells him that he knew his father. When the man Eggsy slighted wants some payback, Harry takes care of him and his companions single handed. Harry then tells Eggsy that he's part of a secret organization called the Kingsman and his father was also part of it. He died trying to make the world safe. Harry offers Eggsy the opportunity to be a Kingsman and he takes it. He undergoes a grueling training course. Harry is looking into the demise of another Kingsman and the trail leads him to tech billionaire named Valentine who is also curious about the group following him, the Kingsman.User Reviews
Stylish, brutal and
hilarious. 'Kingsman' is an extremely quintessentially British flick
full of over-the-top yet hilarious comedy, brutal violence and a quirky
image of England. Since James Bond's debut in 1962, a number of films
have attempted to reinvent the genre, with films like 'Johnny English',
'Get Smart', 'This Means War' and many more, however, none have come
close to displaying the perfect blend like 'Kingsman' has. Matthew
Vaughn has become renowned for taking on action-comedy projects, for
instance 'Kick-Ass' (which is still stronger than this but only just),
and along the way has kept that feel-good British aspect to it that
makes our greatest secret agent (James Bond) such an icon. All-in-all
'Kingsman' is a brilliant, well-executed film.
