On TV, you’ll get your fill of action on Sunday. After an acclaimed blockbuster, a box-office flop follows, but it has a lot to offer. Look forward to explosions and global chases.
ProSieben showed two exciting action flicks on TV that couldn’t be more different. The first was the darkly humorous action comedy Kingsman: The Secret Service, in which a young agent has to save the world. In Blackhat, Chris Hemsworth tries to track down faceless hackers.
Kingsman: The Secret Service on Disney+: From small-time crook to agent
Eggsy (Taron Egerton) had a promising military career ahead of him, but instead he made his living as a crook in London’s East End. When he gets into trouble with his buddy, he turns to the secret organization where his late father used to work. Because they still owe a favor to his family. Shortly thereafter, Eggsy is trained by Harry (Colin Firth) to become a Kingsman. The apparent gentlemen are secret agents and the training quickly turns bitterly serious.
At Kingsman, not only James Bond fans get their money’s worth, who can also look forward to exciting inventions here. But even those who have so far avoided the agent genre will get their money’s worth here. With lots of humor, suspense and fast-paced action, Kingsman entertains from start to finish. Our community agrees. Almost 10,500 users rate the blockbuster at a remarkable 7.5 out of 10. You can also find it on our list of the top 15 agent films.
Director Matthew Vaughn’s work is full of variety and originality. After a successful second part and the prequel The King’s Man: The Beginning, the spin-off Argylle was released last year, and that’s not all, because several Kingsman films are in the works.
Stream Cyber-Thriller Blackhat for free: Chris Hemsworth chases hackers around the world
When a virus causes a nuclear power plant in Hong Kong to explode, Chinese officer and hacker Chen Dawai (Wang Leehom) is assigned to the case. After another cyber attack, he requests the help of his old friend Nick Hathaway (Hemsworth), who is in prison. While the FBI is monitoring him, he is allowed to work on the case, after all, the attacks were carried out by a program he developed, which complicates matters.
Director Michael Mann does not move the action into cyberspace, but integrates exciting and absolutely successful action scenes into a cat-and-mouse game that takes Hemsworth around the globe. The actor is very critical of his own performance in the film, and the movie also flopped at the box office with a grossing of 19 million US dollars, with a budget of 70 million.
Even if the movie flopped with most critics, it’s worth making up your own mind. The modern theme of the hacker scene, coupled with the successful action scenes, is worth more than a glance. The thriller delivers 133 minutes of exciting entertainment.
