A good movie

Even though it was slightly unexpected, my step-son Nick decided we should watch this movie this month in the movie theater and I thought it was a nice surprise. To be honest, I don't think it was really amazing but it was very well made and quite entertainining. In fact, it reminded me of 'Stormbreaker', another British spy feature starring a teenager as the lead character played by Alex Pettyfer which was made almost a decade ago and which is nowadays pretty much forgotten for the right reasons. This time, they pretty much nailed it though. Indeed, the action scenes were pretty badass, the oneliners were funny and the concept was just pretty cool. And yet, pretty much like with the James Bond franchise so beloved by the director Matthew Vaughn, I still had a hard time to care for the whole thing. I mean, there were just so many things that were ridiculous and, of course, we are not supposed to take it too seriously but, then, what should I really care? To be honest, I would be really surprised if they will really launch a franchise after this movie with such a competition at the box-office but we'll see. Anyway, to conclude, all in all, it was a fun movie and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
