"Only the Brits can pull off the grandiose spectacles of action and comedy with such panache"...YEP...
I do like a movie that acknowledges EXACTLY what it is...does not drift or delve into anything it isn't...there is no wanna-be here...
Mark Strong, Colin Furth, and Michael Caine all in there wheel-house...served up nicely for them to shine...
I do not know of the actors name who played Eggsy...but really nice solid job...
I just thought the redneck church scene could have been much less violent...lots of gruesome killings throughout...the reason I noticed this more than usual, I was with my sister and one of nephews who are both hyper sensitive to violence...they both liked the movie but thought the same...good solid 3.5 out of 5 stars...
Thanks
Mark
