“The Kingsman!”

From The King’s Man.

Despite his incredible skill as a soldier, the Duke of Oxford, Orlando (Ralph Fiennes) has devoted his life to peaceful humanitarian efforts. After making a promise to his dying wife to keep their son, Conrad (Harris Dickinson), away from war, Orlando has spent his life since training Conrad to be a good man, while Orlando’s faithful valet, Shola (Djimon Hounsou) and Conrad’s nanny, Polly (Gemma Arterton), quietly train Conrad in hand-to-hand combat. As trouble begins brewing across Europe, Orlando’s old friend and current Secretary of State for War, Lord Kitchener (Charles Dance), asks Orlando to visit their distant cousin Archduke Ferdinand (Ron Cook) to warn him of some possible danger. Orlando reluctantly agrees to go with Conrad and coordinates with Kitchener’s assistant, Captain Morton (Matthew Goode). Unbeknownst to Orlando, a group of evil influencers (including Joel Basman, Daniel Brühl, and Valerie Pachner) are working under the mysterious Shepherd to plunge England, Russia, and Germany into war, and Ferdinand’s death is the first step in their plan. As the leaders of the quarreling countries (all Tom Hollander) follow the advice of the Shepherd’s people and begin the Great War, Conrad is desperate to join the fight and defend his nation, but Orlando refuses to let the boy join. As tensions rise at home and abroad, Orlando learns that the evil Rasputin (Rhys Ifans) is steering Russia through his control over the tsar’s family, so Orlando takes Conrad, Shola, and Polly to Russia to stop Rasputin before it is too late. Despite learning of Rasputin’s involvement with the Shepherd, Orlando refuses to let Conrad join the war, so the boy decides to risk everything to fight for what he believes in, with the hope of saving the world from war’s destruction.

The third installment in the Kingsman series is the origin story that sheds light on the wild spy organization. Fiennes leads an impressive cast through the highly-stylized action adventure. Despite being set during WWI, the war and fight scenes are captivating, which helps to make The King’s Man a must-watch for action fans.
