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.
