"Kingsman: The Secret Service" synopsis

The luxury tailor shop "Kingsman: The Secret Service" in London's Savile Row is actually the world's most powerful spy agency that does not belong to any country! Eggsy loses his father 17 years ago and is unemployed, living with his mother in London. One day, a gentleman named Harry appears in front of him, dressed in a British suit. Harry is a tailor for the high-end tailor ``Kingsman: The Secret Service,'' but behind the scenes he is an elite spy for the secretive international intelligence agency ``Kingsman: The Secret Service.'' Harry's life is saved by Eggsy's father, a former colleague, and he scouts Eggsy as a new candidate for the Kingsman: The Secret Service. While Eggsy is in fierce competition with his rivals to become the new spy, Harry is tracking the whereabouts of Valentine, an IT millionaire plotting a global plan to wipe out humanity.

"International Spy Action"

What kind of movie can you imagine based on this wording?

Many people think of the recent 007 starring Daniel Craig. Or maybe the ``M:I'' series, where Tom Cruise shows off his physical action. If that's the case, I'd like to include " Atomic Blonde " (17), and " The Bourne Identity " (2002) is also unforgettable.

But Craig: Bond is too heavy, and Tom: Ethan is often too desperate. The appearance of Charlize Theron, covered in bruises all over her body, is poignant and painful, and Jason Bourne's origins as a ``human experiment'' are both sad and horrifying. Wouldn't it be nice to have more ``international espionage action'' where adults who have the means to spare the time save the world while humming along?

Rather, for people of a certain age, ``international espionage action'' was something that adults with a lot of money to do could humbly save the world.
