    NOT a good movie to watch when you have a concussion 

    That church scene was sick though. One of my favorite action scenes I think I’ve ever seen. The fight scenes in general are shot so interestingly. Pretty close but never confusing or unfocused. Every punch kick and stab feels so visceral and real, I swear I could feel it in my teeth. 
    Love this love Matthew Vaughn love Kick-Ass
