Kingsman Trailer: Colin Firth Recruits Chavs As Spies

Directors from the UK will make you love what you think you hate, right? Joe Cornish made chavs look like super-soldiers in Attack The Block and now X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass and Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn seems to be turning them into super-spies. Or at least one of them when Colin Firth recruits his nephew Taron Egerton to join him, Michael Caine and Mark Strong at their private spy agency Kingsman in the similarly titled Kingsman: The Secret Service.

Take the school bits of most teen-targeted film fiction like Ender’s Game or Harry Potter and mix in a lot more wit and much simpler spy-fi action, and you get the gist of what happens in Kingsman: The Secret Service. Or at least in the setup. Egerton looks like he’s going to have a lot of fun playing off Firth, who is always great, as they go from spy school to, no doubt, some sort of spy mission. I’m still just impressed that the spies are recruiting chavs now.
