- August 18, 2015
In this episode of Honest Trailers, the popular YouTube series dives into the world of Kingsman: The Secret Service. The film, directed by Matthew Vaughn, stars Colin Firth, Taron Egerton, and Samuel L. Jackson in a modern take on the classic spy genre.
The Honest Trailers team begins by poking fun at the film's many references to James Bond, from its high-tech gadgets to its suave protagonist. They also note the film's raunchier moments, including a controversial scene involving a female character and a blade prosthetic.
Despite these criticisms, the team ultimately praises the film's stylish action sequences and impressive cast. Colin Firth in particular is singled out for his role as the affable spy Harry Hart, who takes Taron Egerton's underdog character Eggsy under his wing.
The trailer also highlights the film's villain, played by Samuel L. Jackson. While his lisp and colorful outfits may seem over the top, the team notes that they add to the film's overall quirkiness and sense of fun.
Overall, the Honest Trailers team presents Kingsman as a successful update to the spy genre, with plenty of action and humor to keep audiences entertained. However, they caution that the film's more controversial moments may not be to everyone's taste.
