Rating: 3.5/5.0

This third film in the KINGSMEN series is surprisingly tamer in fantasy than the first two. Ralph Fiennes is Duke Orlando Oxford, who loses his wife in the Boer War of the early 20th Century. He raises his son Conrad (Harris Dickinson) on his own, but the boy laments his inability to be like his adventurous father. When World War I comes along, all that changes, and the Duke is forced into a mission that has implications for World History.

“The King’s Man” is currently in theaters, beginning December 22nd. Featuring Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton, Rhys Ifans, Harris Dickinson, Djimon Hounsou and Matthew Goode. Screenplay adapted by Matthew Vaughn and Karl Gajdusek. Directed by Matthew Vaughn. Rated “R”
