The Kingsman is a British secret service organization. The first part of the movie focuses on recruiting a new agent, and the six young people who are being evaluated for the position. The two finalists are Eggsy and Roxy. (Taron Egerton and Sophie Cookson). Taron is a natural as Eggsy. He is perfect for the role.
The plot of Kingsman is somewhat non-sensical, but take it for what it is...just entertainment. Valentine (Samuel Jackson) is trying to control the world, and the Kingsman must stop him.
I am not a fan of Samuel Jackson, but I have to admit I am impressed by his versatility as an actor. The last few roles I've seen him in were quite diverse, and his role as Valentine in Kingsman is pretty unique and entertaining.
What bothered me is the frequent and gratuitous use of the F word....like it's part of a common vocabulary. I found it disturbing and unnecessary.
In addition to language, content warnings include violence and some gore.
Overall, the action was entertaining and the gadgets are pretty cool.
The R rating is appropriate....adults may find it entertaining, but it's not for kids.
