I liked her in Kingsman: The Secret Service


I liked her quite a bit although she was underused in the film (especially near the end she's stuck not doing much). I hope to see her in more things in the future. Very promising actress.

Yeah, she should've been used more towards the end...though she did help save the world! She was the strongest out of the recruits and they could do alot with her character in a sequel. When I fist saw her character Roxy, she looked a bit like Hit-Girl, just all grown up and English.
Thank God, they chose her over Emma Watson!

Yes, she was really good. She also reminded me of another actress a LOT, but I can't place it.

As for her character; I think Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman are fantastic writers, but her character was almost outside of the story when they sent her up there near the end. It was almost a bit awkward. They should have involved her a bit more, give her a more significant role near Eggsy and let the destruction of the Valentine-satellite depend on an automated system that would only add suspense by means of a countdown. Cause the way it was handled felt kind of shoehorned in just to let her character do something. She could've done more indeed.
Heck, they could've let her join the duel between Eggsy and swordlegschick, or let her go after V-Man, cause that also felt a little empty.

Awesome movie though.


Also, did they actually consider Emma Watson??... Or are you just saying that because she's often cast when it comes to British productions?...
Well, it probably wouldn't have been as good no. And also not as attractive. :P

She reminded me of the chick from Enders Game and True Grit

To me she looks like a mix between Emilia Clarke and Hayley Atwell. Regardless this girl is super cute. Hope she gets more roles. :]

would she be back for Kingsman 2?

She was great in that movie and I was so happy they didn't kill her off (I really thought they'd do that), that I'm happy with her role—which was cool, anyway, she had to do her part to help stop the bad guys. So I'm really hoping she's in the sequels.
