Yesterday, finally got the chance to watch the long-awaited spy movie, Kingsmen - Secret Service. Directed by Matthew Vaughn (whom last brought us X-men : First Class in 2011) and starring Colin Firth, Taron Egerton and Samuel L. Jackson. It has all the right ingredients and perfect delivery for a spy movie (think along the line of James Bond but funnier). Intelligent plot, suave and nicely choreographed fighting sequence, explosions and funny punchlines, you have it all. Of course, sterling performance from the main characters (especially Colin Firth) cannot be discounted.
To me, it is one of the most entertaining (and full of surprises) spy movie that I've watched in the recent years. I totally immersed myself in that 2 hours plus movie experience. I heard the sequel is already in the pipeline ;-)
