Kinsgman : The Secret Service remains a tale of two halves. While the first half of the movie was exciting and intriguing, the climax leaves you to wonder IS THIS FOR REAL? This could have been one of the best movies of the year, had the finale been executed in a better fashion. To put it in another way, the movie gears you up for 'Avengers' and delivers to you 'Daredevil'. The audience was lost when the plot stopped making sense. To be honest, I expected much more from the director of X-Men First Class and Kick Ass.

Hollywood bigwigs - Colin Firth, Michael Caine, Sameul L Jackson and Mark Strong give fantastic performances, as is expected from them. But what ticked me off was that Michael Caine was given such a small role considering his enormous acting talent. Taron Eagerton as 'Eggsy' and Sophie Cookson as 'Roxy' delivered some good performances. Be sure to have an eye out for them in the future.

The movie starts off with a secret agent being KIA, and his family being given a medal with a number at the back to call in time of dire need. The son would grow on to be our protagonist, Eggsy. Egssy has no goals and aims in life and always gets in to trouble. One such time landed him into jail. He calls the number and gets freed by the secret service. He is subsequently recruited into being a Kinsgman and ultimately saving the world from the Internet Billionaire Valentine [Jackson] who is hell bent on killing the 'extra' people on the planet to save it.

And BOOM, this is where reality disappears and  we get embroiled into a world of fantasy. Eggsy is able to battle countless of soldiers without getting a scratch and bombs turn into something in the image of fireworks.

I admit, there's a sense of suave and class around the film. The action seems to be well crafted and the movie has been shot excellently, but for me a film must cater to logic which it fails to, and thus disappoints.

It could be a one time watch.

My Rating - 7.1/10
