The violence in the movie is one of the most inspiring aspects, it isn't over the top and you never feel like it has gone 'too far' but it is certainly more graphic than your average mainstream movie of this genre. It is refreshing to see a movie of this genre so well made with a strong cast, not hold back when it comes to violence. Michael Caine, Mark Strong and all the other supporting cast don't feel out of place (if not a little stereotypical from some of them), they still do a notable job. The quirkiness and style portrayed is fun to see and fits the style of the movie well. Samuel L Jackson plays the bad guy very well. He brings the urban language, attitude and temperament to the service which is very out of place but necessary for the story. He plays a young chavvy youth, making the transition from street kid to secret agent. The lead character, who the story focuses around - Eggsy (played by Taron Egerton), does a good job playing his character, although I personally found him very irritating. He is the perfect choice for the role he played, in my opinion. First off, the casting and character selection is very impressive, Colin Firth in particular shows us again his splendid acting abilities. However, it was impossible to avoid the glowing reviews, so I went into watching this movie intrigued if it would live up to its reputation. I was very pleasantly surprised with this movie I avoided it at the time of release as I dismissed it, under the opinion that I wouldn't enjoy it. It has good humour, plenty of violence, bad language, stunning cinematography and perfect pacing. It's got a solid story with strong acting and a great cast.
