Why It's Going To Rock: Neat Idea/Matthew Vaughn According to Wikipedia, "Kingsman: The Secret Service is based upon the comic book by Mark Millar, and depicts a veteran secret agent who leads a young protege into the world of espionage," which pretty much tells you exactly what you need to know about why this movie is going to rule and why you need to see it. It pretty much tells the story of a sort of chav named "Eggsy" who gets Colin Firth to teach him to be James Bond. Kingsman: The Secret Service is also coming to us from pretty much the same team who brought the world the original Kick-Ass movie (including writer Jane Goldman). Director Matthew Vaughn, of course, is one of the most talented modern filmmakers working in Hollywood, having granted movie-goers the likes of Layer Cake and X-Men: Days of Future Past over the past few years. Looking at the trailer, this could turn out to be his best film yet.
Sam Hill is an ardent cinephile and has been writing about film professionally since 2008. He harbours a particular fondness for western and sci-fi movies.
