Layer Cake (2004) - Matthew Vaughn
This was brilliant. It was very Guy Ritchie styled, but Matthew Vaughn has gone on to some really brilliant films since this first directed by him, and you can see why. It keeps you gripped, and its many characters is only rivalled in the aforementioned Ritchie and possibly, Quentin Tarantino, only Vaughn is British, so even better!

Kick-Ass (2010) - Matthew Vaughn
I am a big fan of the comic books, but the movie failed to "kick ass" so to speak.
It was good as an adaptation, but I didn't like what they did with Katie's character. It was too unrealistic. But yeah, I liked the film overall.
I think Christopher Mintz-Plasse was good. I feel bad that he'll never be anything but McLovin (from Superbad [2007] - Greg Mottola) to me. But I digress, he's at least carving his way through life, getting by in bit roles, like in Pitch Perfect (2012) - Jason Moore and Fright Night (2011) - Craig Gillespie, so that's something. I think he's a good actor, whom was just overshadowed by an even better character. Let's hope Mintz-Plasse is as good in the second Kick Ass movie, due to be released later this year. Most of the cast are returning, apart from Evan Peters, who has clearly got too big for his britches playing a psycho in American Horror Story.
I have read the comic for both Kick-Ass movies, and am hoping that this next film stays as true as the first one.
