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

I don't know why some people like this. Plot is very predictable, horrible acting and needless violence. If you are looking for violent type of action film, watch Tarantino's Kill Bill instead. If you say it has a good plot, check out The Skin I Live In by Almodovar. Lastly, 0 for cinematography. That concludes my review.

It's a completely different take on spy movies, with the hero (Eggsy) coming from a low class poor background and beating all the rich snobs in training. And then we get to the music. With brilliant tracks such as Free Bird (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Give It Up (KC And The Sunshine Band) you cannot pretend to hate it. I can't get enough of this movie.
