Writer and director
Matthew Vaughn‘s latest return to the big screen presents a story that we’ve seen played several times before. What will count though, is how fresh it will look upon delivery, and so far, watching actor
Colin Firth go from his usual quieter, more romantic roles to that of an asskicking variety for the upcoming release of the UK-set action comedy adventure,
Kingsman: The Secret Service isn’t something I’m entirely against, just quite the opposite.
Actor Taron Egerton plays the young, troubled pupil in training under Firth‘s watchful eye with Samuel L. Jackson starring as the villian, as per the 2012 comic book by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. It’s a tale you can expect to see loaded with its fair share of quips and secret agent gadget gags, as well as an ample layer of stunts and action-packed fight spectacle to boot. If you enjoyed Vaughn‘s previous collaboration with Millar on Kick-Ass (2010), Kingsman: The Secret Service could mean another great time at the movies.
SYNOPSIS:
Based upon the acclaimed comic book and directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass, X-Men First Class), Kingsman: The Secret Service tells the story of a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency’s ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.
Watch the new trailer below and keep your eyes peeled for its release on February 13, 2015.
