Unexpectedly good! submitted by leenajong on August 16, 2015, 8:47pm Better than any James Bond film for sure.

A Little Much submitted by Beth Manuel on August 18, 2015, 8:26am All right, I was unfamiliar with the comic book series, so perhaps if I knew more of the back story I'd have a better sense of who and more importantly WHY these people are....what's their motivation? I'm obviously not info fantasy or crazy-improbable action flicks. Call me a stick in the mud, but this film did little for me.

not so great... submitted by bookher on August 27, 2015, 9:21am The only reason I watched this was for Colin Firth which was a total mistake because this movie was a disaster! It was over before it ever got good.

Better than expected submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 31, 2015, 10:08pm Colin Firth was perfectly cast. Hard to see how they'd do a sequel, though.

Not your ordinary spy movie. submitted by wgregory on July 3, 2016, 10:33am This movie was highly inappropriate and entertaining. Not what I expected. Some great actors and new great actors. I enjoyed it immensely, as did my husband.

Unexpextedly terrible submitted by ishhewitt on July 10, 2016, 1:53pm So unbelievably sexist. Can't stand it. Disappointing this is still happening in our culture.

Entertaining submitted by VanCancue on June 18, 2018, 1:51pm I thought it was entertaining. I thought the new young actor was pretty good. Enjoyed Colin Firth's portrayal.

Mixed Feelings submitted by timdufresne on July 9, 2018, 5:26pm Incredibly shot, lovingly crafted film with a relentless barrage of beautiful, gory violence. Great film making with a taught action/spy movie that would have been perfect 10 years ago. Retrograde portrayals of women coupled with a fetishistic obsession with British classism leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But if I could turn that off, this movie is a lot of fun for folks who like their spys British, their violence gory and their cinematography clear and brilliant.

awesome submitted by srahman on July 26, 2018, 8:13pm I loved this movie soooo much. The actors all did an amazing job and made the movie fun to watch. The plot was amazing and the ending was awesome.

So good! submitted by granumm on August 4, 2018, 1:41pm Exciting, well-shot movie with amazing action sequences. Think Deadpool meets James Bond.

loved it submitted by yufamily on August 24, 2019, 1:23pm Awesome storyline and characters

Horrid submitted by suttonp on August 22, 2020, 5:57pm Senseless violence and evility. This movie was horrid.

Enjoyable British spy movie submitted by jcottey on August 23, 2020, 1:18pm Lots of spy gadgets and violence. If you like a James Bond spy movie, you’ll probably like this one too.
