Origin story for The Kingsman organization. Ralph Fiennes is the protagonist, former war hero turned pacifist who encounters a series of tragedies. These life events put him on the path of combatting evil and ultimately forming Kingsman. Almost a straight forward spy thriller, but enough oddities to toss around 'spoof' and 'farce'. But these don't really stick either. The intrigue here is supposed to be in the character development of Fiennes, but I found it to be a flat side story that didn't provide enough intrigue to carry the plot along. Without it, the spy thriller portion is formulaic.
3 stars (out of 5)
