for both your tubs of popcorn . . .
'Kingsman' has it all: Firth, Caine, Jackson, Strong, gorgeous sets, a host of young handsome actors, a nice easy-to-follow plot, action, more action, and even more action. Not a boring moment, not a believable moment, either.
In a nutshell, the Kingsman need candidates for a recently KIA agent. Firth happens to put up young "Eggsy" who happens to be the son of an agent that saved his life. Eggsy is a bit of an unruly maverick but does tackle training with a zest. Enter the evil plot: Sam Jackson (billionaire internet tycoon) has decided Earth's problem is overpopulation and has come up with a nifty way to solve it. He gives away V-Chips which, when triggered, will turn everyone into a raving murderous maniac. Now, Eggsy and the Kingsman must find a way to stop Jackson.
There is a cameo role by someone you will never recognize.
Only the Brits can pull off the grandiose spectacles of action and comedy with such panache. There's no real reason not to go unless you want to see some dreary Scando film about depression.
