I love twisted films so I had my blast with this one. Even if some twists are really way above the writers heads but it was fun nevertheles.
I dont think it is one of Matthew Vaughn's strongest efforts as he lost himself a bit within all the turns.
Also an improvement could have been the casting of the leading lady: Bryce Dallas Howard is not the strongest actress, she can be fine if the perfect material is gven to her that doesnt require her to add something to it, but this was the case here. I think a better skilled actress would have raised the overall quality of the film much better.
Sam Rockwell was good as usual but I had the impression towards the end of the film he got a bit bored. I liked Bryan Cranston and Catharine O'Hara who obviously had a lot of fun with their roles. I think there was also a lot of wasted potential though, mostly in the waste of Samuel L. Jackson and Ariana DeBose.
Anyway a good soundtrack, nice action scenes, good portion of crude humour and a semi-animated cat made this worthwhile in the end. Just far away from a masterpeice and I dobut the foreseen franchise will happen.
