À propos de ce film

Based upon the acclaimed comic book and directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass, X-Men First Class), the film tells the story of a suave, old-school British superspy who recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into his agency’s ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted American entrepreneur.

Notes et avis

Poorly executed. Far too violent for a concept that had the potential to be fun. Picks up a bit to the end but it's being made for 12-16 year old working class kids with a chip on their shoulder and struggles towards the ranks of mildly entertaining because of it. If my interest was to help underprivileged British kids get a leg up in life this not something I would offer them. Caine & Jackson are obviously not getting many job offers these days. Wish I could get my money back.

Loved every second of it! I liked how it was different, moved away from the typical Bond tone of today. It was funny, sometimes far-fetched (which I personally enjoy). The direction was superb; the action sequences were top-notch and highly stylised. Gore featured, but not too prominently. Great acting, with a contrasting cast that worked brilliantly together, I thought. If you're looking for a modern, yet comic, classical style of spy film then this is perfect for you. Highly recommend.

This is a comic book adaptation, and it knows that. It doesn't take itself overly serious like many films in the spy genre, but isn't a parody like the Austin Powers franchise. It manages to get you attached to the main characters and the world they are in. I found it to be a thrill ride throughout. The action sequences are brilliant and I'll have to tip my hat to Colin Firth for the scenes where he's absolutely kicking the living day lights out of people.
