About this movie

A super-secret organization recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a dire global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. A phenomenal cast, including Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Caine, lead this action-packed spy-thriller directed by Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class).

It's in between being not good and 'okay'. The beginning is really corny and boring. And the background music, oh my gosh the background music is so cheesy. The suits they wore were cool though the entire time though. The movie, for me, didn't even get remotely interesting until the final 30-35 mins. For an action movie it's pretty lame and the violence is mediocre. All together it's an extremely difficult movie to take seriously but two of the fights were awesome.

The "horrible" in every aspect of this movie from its beginning to after the closing credits is so widespread & gratuitous that it left me feeling grossly violated. Minds gone haywire. Good ideas gone bad. Horrible acting & even worse screenwriting. Overzealous use of crass language & off color remarks. This motion picture is far worse than just a waste of time & money. This movie will assault your mind & your soul, leaving you wondering if you should report to the police that you've just been raped.

It had all the makings to be a great oldschool spy movie, but the use of vulgarity and profanity made it seen that the creators were trying too hard to reach cult classic status. The action and the outlandish use of technology was fun and quite enjoyable. The foul language, sexual jokes and implications were crass, awkwardly placed and, in a word, unnecessary. I believe that these attempts caused then to alienate a large group of viewers who were initially very excited to see this movie.
