KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE
The excess is even wretcheder and the provocations even more hollow, but they're in service of something greater anyway. Sometimes all it takes is a few scenes to make a movie. On rare occasions, it takes just one. Matthew Vaughn and Mark Millar (more the former than the latter) have done it again.
2015
Directed by Matthew Vaughn
Written by Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn (based on the comic The Secret Service by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons)
With Colin Firth (Galahad/Harry Hart), Taron Egerton (Gary "Eggsy" Unwin), Michael Caine (Arthur), Mark Strong (Merlin), Jack Davenport (Lancelot), Sofia Boutella (Gazelle), and Samuel L. Jackson (Valentine)
Spoiler alert: mild
