This is a fun ride...I only wish the violence was a little toned down...

"Only the Brits can pull off the grandiose spectacles of action and comedy with such panache"...YEP...

I do like a movie that acknowledges EXACTLY what it is...does not drift or delve into anything it isn't...there is no wanna-be here...

Mark Strong, Colin Furth, and Michael Caine all in there wheel-house...served up nicely for them to shine...

I do not know of the actors name who played Eggsy...but really nice solid job...

I just thought the redneck church scene could have been much less violent...lots of gruesome killings throughout...the reason I noticed this more than usual, I was with my sister and one of nephews who are both hyper sensitive to violence...they both liked the movie but thought the same...good solid 3.5 out of 5 stars...

Thanks
Mark

the French and Americans....I believe that is probably why it was that way.

  Yes that is a very true statement...
  Being the gun culture that we have become...I am somewhat immune to it, but having my sister and my nephew there, it became much more obvious...
  Being based on a comic book also makes it exaggerated to some extent...
  It is a fun ride...it has a great shag-a-delect quality...with the tip of the hat to the swinging 60s...
  Thanks
  Mark
