Kingsman: The Secret Service 2014

If it hadn't been for the recommendations and good comments about this movie, I probably wouldn't have wanted to see it; however, I am glad I listened to the critics as I thought it was a great movie. Bringing the plot of secret agents to comedy while still being an action movie can be risky but in this one it works perfectly: it is clear that the filmmakers wanted to get to the absurd and hence be comedians and they succeeded, that awareness of the absurd made the comedy go really well. And the doses of violence that counterbalanced the comedy made it a fairly complete film, added to the good performances of all the actors. What was left to me a bit was the soundtrack, it reminded me a lot of The Avengers, a lot.
