The result in no way resembles anything in real life, but that is the intent of the Kingsman series - to take James Bond-style movies and stretch them beyond the limits of credibility. In a twist, it turns out the Statesman saved Harry after being shot in the head, but he now has amnesia and only remembers his life before joining the Army.ĭirector Matthew Vaughn again helms Kingsman, and being a typical sequel, he ups the cartoonish action, and creates even more ludicrous scenarios and situations for Eggsy, Merlin, and the others to navigate. Lead by head agent Champ (Jeff Bridges), the Statesman, who include Tequila (Channing Tatum), Whiskey (Pedro Pascal), and Ginger (Halle Berry), open all their resources to the remaining Kingsman. She has a plan to extort the United States (and the world, by extension) by poisoning all recreational drugs, then holding the antidote ransom with two key demands - legalize all drugs, and grant immunity to all drug suppliers and dealers.Īfter a devastating attack on the Kingsman, only Eggsy and Merlin are left standing, but soon discover their American counterparts, the Statesman, based in a distillery in Kentucky. Their leader, the chipper, maniacal, and certifiably insane Poppy (Julianne Moore, having time of her life), sets out to completely destroy the Kingsman and nearly succeeds. He is immediately besieged in the first minutes by henchmen from the mysterious drug cartel, The Golden Circle. He also rescues and wins “the girl”, the Swedish princess Tilde (Hannah Alstrom).Īs Kingsman: The Golden Circle opens, Eggsy is now an experienced agent in a committed relationship with Tilde.

We watched Eggsy’s transformation from brash West-End thug into a dashing, competent secret agent under the guidance of Harry (Colin Firth) and Merlin (Mark Stone). He was recruited into the Kingsman, an ultra-secret agency that engaged in adventures that would make James Bond proud. When Kingsman: The Secret Service first came out in 2014, the hyper-kinetic and ultra-violent spy comedy brought us the story of Eggsy (Taron Egerton), a London street rat who was destined for greater things.
