Lacking the previous films' tension, Matthew Vaughn's prequel 'The King's Man,' starring Ralph Fiennes, has a playful sense of history and intrigue .
series, director and co-writer Matthew Vaughn has made “The King’s Man,” a prequel meant to explain the origins of the secret intelligence agency run out of a Saville Row tailor shop in London. Opening in 1902 South Africa, the story jumps forward to 1914 and continues on against the backdrop of World War I and the Russian Revolution.
The historical setup for this prequel misses perhaps the most essential element of the previous “Kingsman” pictures: the tension between a traditional buttoned-up, finely tailored conception of British-ness and the contemporary reality of streetwear and slang.
Ralph Fiennes plays Duke Orlando Oxford, who after seeing his wife killed becomes obsessed with protecting his son by keeping him in seclusion on their family estate, looked after by his trusted servants Shola and Polly . Somehow or other Oxford is called into service to thwart the plans of the mysterious Scottish separatist known as The Shepherd, who runs an Illuminati/Dr. Evil style council of international troublemakers.
