The King's man: first mission

by Matthew Vaughn takes a step back to explain how this brotherhood of top secret agents was born during the First World War.

Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Aterton, Harris Dickinson and Djimon Hounsou take up arms for the third installment.

"Matthew Vaugh has a knack for mixing genres," explains Ralph Fiennes to

20 Minutes

. Like a circus artist who manages to turn all the plates at once, he mixes humor, father-son relationship, action and historical drama in the same film. This prequel is less far-fetched than the previous sections to describe the reports of a young man who dreams of proving his worth in combat and his dad who swore to his dying wife that he would protect their child from all forms of war.

The two men must pay their own for their king and the future of England laying the foundation for the Kingsman franchise. They face in particular a dancing Rasputin interpreted by the always delirious Rhys Ifans. "The film takes liberties with history, insists Ralph Fiennes," but it becomes more serious when it dives into the fighting of the First World War because there are subjects on which it is difficult to joke.

The King's Man: First mission

found a rhythm of its own and manages to surprise by showing some maturity or even a real emotion.

The Kingsmen in the making combine the qualities that we expect of them and that we will find in their successors who camped Taaron Egerton and Colin Firth in the other opus. Class, ingenuity, good manners and courage are their hallmarks. “These virtues are the prerogative of their brotherhood, insists Ralph Fiennes, a bit like a code of chivalry or the bushido of the samurai. They correspond to what one expects from English gentlemen. The two men are supported by brilliant servants - a black man and a woman - who come out of their subordinate condition, inevitable in the 1910s, to lend a hand to the heroes.

Less funny than the other two films,

The King's Man: First Mission

dares to stand out from the public's expectations.

It is a warlike spy film with spectacular clashes and delightful performances.

Tom Hollander surprises with humor and talent in an amazing triple role.

For him alone, this quality entertainment is worth the trip.
