As if too much time to pass..

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)

When a virus enters a body, the body core temperature increases to kill off the invading offender. In that tussle, either the host or the virus dies. So when the world becomes over-populated, Mother nature tries to maintain equilibrium. She causes global warming and significant catastrophes. In that manner, people are killed, and homeostasis is preserved. That is the basis of a mad internet billionaire developing a SIM card which he distributes free to everyone. He preselects a set of people for his new world, and he then activates the SIM card for the rest of the world to whack the living daylight out of each other and virtually self destruct each other. In the end, the mad man plans to start a human civilisation all over again.

The storyline sounds outlandish. Well, it is cartoonish too. It reminds you of the 1996 flop 'Mars Attack!'

Kingsman is a brand of a custom-made man clothing line which also has a band of suave secret agents who are work tirelessly to save the world. In one of the endeavours in the Middle East, one agent is killed in the crossfire. His widow, who is crossed with his loss refuse to have anything to do with her husband's employer.

17 years later, she is an abusive relationship, and the son of the agent is a delinquent. When the son is incarcerated for car theft, he uses a particular phone to get his get-out-of-jail-free card. That slowly snowballs into his excellent self being recruited as a secret agent candidate of Kingsman Secret Service.

They came in contact with a mad billionaire (Valentine, Samuel L Jackson) and deadly double amputee sidekick with killer blades! With an array of head busting armamentarium guns and ala-John Steed type dangerous umbrella, the Kingsman's men and lady save the world.

Just another mindless time pass movie...
