Whatever expectations you have of this movie, regardless of what you think of the Kingsman saga, lower them. Take these lower expectations and lower them again. Just a bit lower. Perfect. If you go into the cinema with these expectations then you will have a great time. This is a happy meal of a movie. You think you want it so you eat the burger and it was a fine to eat but you are just as hungry after as you were before. It's silly, predictable, shallow and a typical Vaughn-scapade but about 30 mins too long and not saved by the smorgasbord of famous faces who try and knit the story together. Would I watch it again? No. But i killed a couple of hours in a cozy dark space with popcorn and a drink and smiled a few times, sometimes at the jokes and sometimes at the absurdity if the whole thing.

No amount of over acting from soap stars can rescue this predictable plot. Much better Harlan Coben adaptations out there to watch.
