Explosive and funny R-rated atypical spy film

Don’t be deceived by the copycat posters and the zero-existence translation of the film. This is really a cool film that is as good-looking and cult as "Kill Bill". It can be described in one word: fried ! crack! Don’t assume that the film is dressed in the theme of “agents” and it’s so cool that you can only be handsome (although it is really handsome). Black humor, neurotic temperament, and open brains are the essence of the film. Use one more word. The description is: funny! Compare!

If you have seen the director’s previous hit "Kick-Ass" (Kick-Ass), you can probably guess the style of the film. For example, the violent hunting of the flowing water and the joyous and passionate music, the blood spraying like a faucet and the torn human body, the charming smell of apocalyptic carnival, makes the audience entangled while watching: Oh, what is wrong? Hahaha No matter what's wrong with him, it's funny and cool anyway! By the way, this film is also adapted from a comic, and the original author of the comic and the comic author of "King of the Sea" are the same person.

Of course, if you just enter the theater with the pure and beautiful wish of "watching old-fashioned handsome guys", I believe it will be more satisfying. Unlike the gang of rough-handed agents in the United States who nakedly display male hormones, the British agents must of course elegantly embody the extraordinary temperament of a British gentleman, in general, they are bigger than bigger. Also, please don't be stuck with the fact that the agents in the movie are wearing high-definition suits and holding long-handled umbrellas.

(The spoiler warning is started below. Readers who haven't watched the movie should carefully choose whether to continue.)
Uncle Colin’s charm reached its peak in the two episodes of "Bar Beating" and "Church Massacre". The latter is also one of the most brilliant clips of the film, composed of several long shots, showing in all aspects that Uncle Colin used various weapons and props to win 40 heads in one go in 3 minutes and 12 seconds (data from foreign media ) The unparalleled coolness, the complexity of the scene scheduling, the bloody chaos of the screen, and the handsomeness of Uncle Colin are all breathtaking. Of course, the mass killings in churches also caused the film to be cut when it was released in certain countries.

The "Human Brain Fireworks" near the end is also an awesome segment alongside the "Church Massacre." Heads of state and political leaders, academic elites, and business magnates, in the cheerful symphony and slow motion, exploded into red clouds in the sky, like the fireworks in the last carnival feast before the end of the world, the sense of cult and comics moments It's bursting, and people can't help muttering to themselves: Real? Burst.

This film will challenge your stereotypes about spy films. For example, the male protagonist was swept out at the last moment when he participated in the selection of secret agents. Uncle Colin, who was super combative, said he would die. Another example is the male protagonist who seemed to be very close to the spy sister before. Sleeping the princess (I would say that in the British version, the princess showed her naked body in a flash!), she was full of stalks, and she thought about it every minute. Watching this movie after watching traditional Hollywood spy movies is simply refreshing and refreshing.

In addition, the film is commended for the equipment of the Kingsman organization, from the ever-changing umbrellas to Conan watches, from lighter bombs to concealed leather shoes, and there is even a large-looking room that looks like a display of women’s clothing. Place these equipment like hats and jewelry. This is in line with the traditional taste of special agent films. By the way, the moment when Uncle Colin walked into the equipment room with the heroine was inexplicably similar to the moment when Gray showed the heroine the Play Room in "Fifty Shades of Grey".

Finally, all the above evaluations are based on the unabridged version. To be honest, I almost broke down when I knew that the film was going to be shown in the mainland. Will such an R-rated cult film that treats violence as a carnival and plasma as syrup will be treated tenderly by the scissors? ! Only... Good luck to you.
