Prior to the release of 2015sKingsman: The Secret Service, the spy genre was in a dark place.

Still, that just means youll be cackling too by its gloriously gonzo finale.

Poppy (Julianne Moore) is an international drug dealer with a sickeningly sweet nostalgia for 1950sHappy Days-esque Americana.

Shes also not against cannibalism or utilizing her razor-toothed robotic attack dogs on disloyal employees.

And yet, the surprising MVP of the movie is Mark Strongs Merlin.

Keep an eye out for a scene involving a runaway ski lift as a particular showstopper.
