Kingsman: The Secret Service

It's basically a British version of Kick-Ass meets Wanted meets Austin Powers and Charlie's Angels, but with noticeably less kick than any of those films, even despite the good supporting cast in Colin Firth, Samuel Jackson, and Mark Strong. The deficiency, even amidst the acknowledged humor,  is rounded out by a rather good backstory that fails to be delivered in a better way via the performance of a rather flacid lead in Taron Egerton. Even for a loose and common spy parody, there are certain required expectations that must be met to inject some originality.  Kingsman: The Secret Service here, is nothing new and it's a good thing that only time waiting for the DVD to be released, was the only thing I was willing to be exchanged for it.
