A very quiet week for DVD releases is highlighted by Kingsman: The Secret Service.
Feature Films
KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE
You've seen Colin Firth play the proud Darcy. Battle for Bridget Jones Love. Portray the stammering George VI of England. Even dance and sing in Mamma Mia. But have you seen him decimate a gang of toughs in an English pub using only his fists and a very special umbrella? Well, here's your chance. In "Kingsman," Firth plays veteran Agent Galahad, battling evil-doers and shepherding budding agent Gary "Eggsy" Unwin. Like Firth, Samuel Jackson plays amusingly against type in "Kingsman," as lisping billionaire philanthropist Richmond Valentine, who has no stomach for blood or violence, despite the fact that he's intent on liquidating a good portion of the Earth's population. The violence is hard to avoid in "Kingsman." But much as the body count is very steep, the mayhem grows increasingly cartoonish as the film approaches its mad crescendo. There's some fun to be had here if you don't think too much.
FOCUS
There's more light, summer fun to be had with Focus. Will Smith plays an experienced con-man whose relationship with a young female grifter extends rather beyond that of mentor and student.
