The King's Man

Downton Abbey meets The Suicide Squad. Ralph Fiennes, 59, dresses nicely, carries an umbrella, and kicks everyone’s ass in this enjoyable but sometimes weird, spy-tastic action movie. British people, as we all know, are superior, and manage to maintain their composure despite fighting some of the weirdest, non-British creeps and perverts one can imagine. Tea will be required! Lengthy segments in the trenches of World War I are brutal but breathtakingly filmed. Filmmakers dodge numerous war-movie tropes to render fresh, unyielding, and creative ass-kickery keeping your adrenaline jumpy and jolty. It’s long, and sometimes the pacing feels off. But heads roll, so you can’t ask for much more.
