Kingsman: The Secret Service

Tali: Kingsman tells the story of Eggsy (for real), a thug who--thanks to the always polite and handsome Colin Firth--gets invited to try out for the most exclusive spy club in the world. This film surprised me a lot: it had a good, reliable British sense of humour, Samuel L. Jackson as a lisping villain, and just the right amount of action and blood. It also gave us one of the cutest scenes to ever happen in an action movie! All in all a good date night movie. I do have to say though, the ending frame of this film totally made it end on a sour note. 82/100.

Leo: This was exactly what I needed after the Oscar season. I have been a big Matthew Vaughn fan for a while, and anything with Samuel L. and Colin Firth is a recipe for success. It was funny, bloody good action (pun intended cuz bloody is literal too). I felt like I just watched what would happen if Tarantino directed a James Bond film. Sure, they could have limited the violence and nudity and not offended people (cough Tali cough), but you know what, "it ain't that kind of movie, bruv".  Leometer: 89/100.
