Review – Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

by Kevin Muller

Ah, okay, it is incredibly refreshing to be able to talk about a film without beating around the bush.  Unlike ‘Mother!,” this film is just a standard action film with an A to B plot-line. Back in 2014, the original Kingsman: The Secret Service, hit theaters and knocked everyone out with its satire, kick ass action, and one hell of a leading man, Colin Firth.
