Church fight

Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of 2014’s biggest surprises. The movie was based on Mark Millar’s comic book series about spies, which channeled the classic (and more fun) James Bond flicks. As a loose adaptation, the movie was a commercial and critical hit, with action scenes, an over-the-top villain, and excellent acting that was praised by fans and critics alike.

The most memorable scene by far features Colin Firth (of all actors) as he goes on a killing spree in a church, obviously under the influence of Sam Jackson’s mind control device. How does it all pan out? Well, he’s a trained secret agent fighting a group of people with no idea how to fight. And it’s bloody amazing!

After all, the stylish action is one of the reasons why Kingsman: The Secret Service was a hit.

Once more, though…Of all people, would you have expected to see Colin Firth as a hero in an action movie? Maybe this made the scene even better than it would have been otherwise. Come on, it wouldn’t have had the same impact if Jason Statham were doing the killing.
