Never in the history of movie making has anyone dared to fictionally kill off a U.S. President; that is, until Kingsman: The Secret Service came along.
Not only does the movie kill off the president, but it even blows up what appears to be the head of current President Barack Obama into bits.
Director Matthew Vaughn isn't shying away from the topic though, since he told IGN that there's no other global power more daunting than the White House.
"The White House and Obama-ish president - there's no other symbol about a global power than the White House," he told IGN.
Kingsman is released by Twentieth Century Fox, a sister company of Fox News which is well known for not being a big fan of President Obama, the Daily Mail noted. This is probably why they translated their frustrations into the big screen and blew up the president's head.
The movie is about secret agent Harry Hart (played by Colin Firth), who lost his dear friend and fellow agent during a mission in the Middle East. Overcome with guilt, he promises the man's widow and young son that he will do whatever he can to help the family. Hart leaves his phone number on the back of the medal and tells the family they can call anytime.
But as Eggsy (played by Taron Egerton) grows up, he gets more involved in drugs and petty crimes. As he lands in jail, he remembers Hart's promise and calls him up. But Hart does more than just bail Eggsy out of jail - he recruits him for the secret agency that his father used to work for: the Kingsmen.
While Kingsmen appears to be heavy in action, there are also moments of laughter and drama throughout the film, and this is quite evident in the trailer.
Samuel L. Jackson takes on the role of the super villain Valentine, an eco-philantropist who has drastic plans on solving the world's overpopulation problem. His solution? Valentine plans to give out rigged cell phones to the masses. When the timing is right, he will trigger a frequency that will let all the cell phones explode as he hides in the comfort of his mountaintop safe house.
Other cast of the movie include Mark Strong as Merline, Michael Caine as Arthur or Chester King, Sophie Cookson as Roxy, Sofia Boutella as Gazelle, Mark Hamill as Professor James Arnold, and Jack Davenport as Lancelot.
