Based on the comic series, "The Secret Service" by Mark Miller and Dave Gibbons, "The Kingsman: The Secret Service" is a gripping spy thriller that opens with Eggsy's father and Harry (Colin Firth), his future mentor, engaged in a fierce battle with their foes.
Eggsy's father loses his life, leaving behind an infant who Harry vows to protect at all costs. Eggsy, down on his own luck, gets into trouble and faces prison time. The remainder of the film follows him and a group of same-aged individuals as they embark on rigorous Kingsman training, hoping to fill a seat at the elite spy organization's table. Following several twists and turns, Eggsy succeeds in becoming a secret agent.
The captivating camera work and cinematography make the film a visual spectacle, with numerous scenes done in one take.
The second installment of the Kingsman franchise, "Kingsman: The Golden Circle," boasts an even bigger cast and a cameo by Sir Elton John himself. The film took the titular Brits on a nail-biting journey to the United States, where they fished out yet another conspiracy that threatened the fate of the world.
Like its predecessor, the film featured dynamic camera angles and humorously saucy dialogues, beefing up its overall entertainment value and fast-paced adventure that kept the audience on the edge of their seats.
