What does 2017's KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE (aka Kingsman 2) have to do with New Year's Eve, the holiday season, or even anything in the month of December? NOTHING! But our original choice wasn't streaming on any services this month, so we decided to finally circle around back to one of our fav fake presidential actors, the legendary Bruce Greenwood, last seen (by us) as the potus in NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS (aka National Treasure 2).
This time out Bruce is the unnamed "President of the United States" in an R-rated, edgy, action comedy from a true British Knight, director and co-writer Matthew Vaughn, surrounded by a impressive cast including Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Halle Berry, Julianne Moore, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, Emily Mortimer, and introducing the one and only Sir Elton John, in maybe his most outlandish performance ever in front of a camera.
