Kingsman: The Secret Service

— Poor Colin Firth, to be mixed up in this mess! After seeing it, I’m glad I waited for it to be released on DVD because it really isn’t very good. The problem seems to be that it never knows if it’s spoofing the Bond franchise or striving for over-the-top cult status. Either way, it’s just an uncomfortable two hours of viewing with occasional and sometimes vague bits of humor. It really isn’t my kind of film.
