Summary:
A young man named Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (Taron Egerton), 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 the number a man gave him around the time his father died, to call if he needs help. A man named Harry Hart (Colin Firth) 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-handedly. Harry then tells Eggsy that he’s part of a secret organization called “The Kingsman”, and his father was also part of it. Source: IMDB.Full text transcript of the Kingsman film review:
Colin Firth talking about Kingsman Secret Service, so much correspondence and this we’ll get to it after the news. Mark, first. Well, he said in that interview that he hadn’t heard anybody do anything other than respond positively to King. And, of course, actually, it has been proved very divisive. There’s some people who really, really like it. There are some people who really, really hate it. I’m kind of somewhere in the middle. I think that in general, it’s it’s as always with, you know, MacIvor and Jane Goldman, they have a very good understanding of Miller’s work. And I think it’s an interesting adaptation. I think it’s, for the most part, kind of good, boisterous, brash, fun with some major false steps. I mean, the sequence in the church is genuinely jaw dropping. And of course, it’s interesting, I was talking to Matthew Wald about this program, about the business of film, that the way he works is that, you know, he finances the films independently, then they get picked up by the studios. And this was picked up quite early on by Fox, but it was put together by Marvel film. So consequently, they don’t compromise. And it’s hard to imagine a sort of studio going with that church house, which is really, you know, quite astonishing. I don’t think this is quite the jaw dropping quality of kick ass, which I think is all, you know, all round a better film.
But I think it has some really nice ideas. I think it has some, you know, sequences that are fun to watch. My problem with it is that there is a strain of laddy humor in it that I think occasionally gets the better of it, because for a lot of it, what it’s trying to do is to pastiche, bond and pastiche those bond stereotypes. Because when you look at the poster, it is like a kind of it’s it’s a sort of snub to the chauvinism of for your eyes only. It’s inverting that image with this, you know, these kind of killer running blades image. However, there is you know, there’s a terrible bum note at the end of the film, which is completely unforgivable. And it’s just a sort of perfect example of every now and then the that strain of humor getting the better of the filmmakers. And I think perhaps that explains why some people have reacted quite so sort of strongly against it. I think it’s you know, it’s fun, brash, enjoyable, flawed, certainly, but sequences in it that are, you know, have real vibrancy. And yeah, I thought it was kind of fun. Flawed, fun, certainly, but fun nonetheless.
