    Kingsman: The Secret Service-Teen Movie Review

    Their suits are bullet proof, their shoes hide a toxic blade, their umbrella’s are shotguns and their cigarette lighters are grenades. That’s the attire of a Kingsmen, members of a secret spy organization who make the world a safer place. When the agency loses a member, Harry Hart (Colin Firth) recruits an uneducated street boy named Eggsy (Taron Egerton). Eggsy is not a typical recruit…he’s not an Oxford or Cambridge man. However, Harry wants to help the boy as his father was once a Kingsmen who saved Harry’s life. Now it’s up to Eggsy to pass a rigorous and dangerous interview, so he too can become a Kingsmen, and help save the world from an emerging global threat.

    Talking Points:

    • Eggsy is a troubled boy, with no purpose in life. It is Harry who helps him and redirects his life in a more positive way.
    • Eggsy loves his mother and protects her from an abusive boyfriend.

    Sexual Content: Mild

    • There are some sexual references regarding masturbation, multiple sexual partners, and homosexuality.
    • A woman suggests, to a man she barely knows, that they should have anal sex.
    • We see a woman’s bare backside.

    Violent/Disturbing Content: Excessive

    • Character’s are shot, stabbed, straggled and skewered to death. There are hundreds of fatalities throughout the film.
    • The villain (Samuel L. Jackson) plants a device in people’s heads. When he triggers the device the character’s head explodes. This was portrayed as choreographed fireworks with music playing in the background.

    Crude or Profane Language: Excessive

    • The f-word is said constantly throughout the film. We also hear “a–,” “sh-t,” “b–ch,” and “pr–k.”

    Drug and Alcohol Content: Mild

    • We see character’s drinking mixed drinks, champagne, beer and wine.

    Will Kids Like It? Yes

    •  I interviewed three teenage boys who said they loved all the action, and thought the film was very funny.

    Overall this is an entertaining and action packed film. Parents need to be aware of the excessive violence and profane language.
