A young man named Gary "Eggsy" Unwin (Taron Egerton), whose father died when he was a young boy, is dealing with living with the creep his mother is with now, who mistreats her and him. He goes out and does something to one of the creep's friends. He gets arrested and he calls the number a man gave him around the time his father died, to call if he needs help.

When the man Eggsy slighted wants some payback, Harry takes care of him and his companions single-handedly. Harry then tells Eggsy that he's part of a secret organization called "The Kingsman", and his father was also part of it. He died trying to make the world safe.

Harry is looking into the demise of another Kingsman, and the trail leads him to tech billionaire Valentine, a.k.a. "V" (Samuel L. Jackson), who is also curious about the group following him, the Kingsman.
Leave your thoughts about Kingsman: The Secret Service.
| The Sun (UK)Alex ZaneThe real plaudits, however, go to Vaughn. From Layer Cake, to Kick-Ass, to this, he consistently delivers dynamic, stylish, in-your-face cinema. Bloody brilliant. More badass than Bond. |
| Examiner.comChris SawinKingsman: The Secret Service politely and eloquently clobbers you with undeniable wit, frantic yet unflinching action, and extremely adult but uproarious humor. |
| New YorkerAnthony LaneThis is pitiful stuff, and, like the violence, it eats away at the blitheness for which Kingsman strives, leaving an aftertaste of desperation that the Connery of “Goldfinger,” say, would not have dreamed of bequeathing. The sadness is that Firth, alone in the film, does raise the spectre of those days, radiating a lightly amused reserve amid the havoc. |
| The MercuryTim MartainIn the same way Shaun of the Dead became an almost perfect zombie movie simply by sending up the genre, Kingsman just might have done Bond better than Bond. |
| Daily StarAndy LeaOne of the most ridiculously entertaining spy flicks since Roger Moore hung up his safari suit. |
| Alternative LensJennifer HeatonIn the midst of all the espionage action, Kingsman also manages to be a movie about something relatable and timely: classism. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA nostalgic homage to 007 that's also the most mesmerizing movie of the year thus far. |
