Argylle
After being suffocated by that damn trailer for nearly five months in front of nearly every new release, Argyle is finally here and sadly it's about as entertaining as those <PERSON>-esque big budget action streamers. I'm a fan of <PERSON> work and I was hoping he'd find his groove again after his disappointing Kingsman follow-ups and while this film has a talented cast and some fun ideas, it's squandered in an overlong and convoluted spy adventure. The CGI/green screen is terrible, the humor is mostly unfunny, and it spends far too much time dropping endless twists (many of which were predictable) that it forgets to tell a good story. 292
Most of the action is also tedious and repetitive save for one really cool sequence involving smoke. <PERSON> and <PERSON> make for fine leads and do their best with this material, and <PERSON> is always a nice presence. I'm grateful we no longer have to sit through that trailer but after seeing the final product, it really wasn't worth it.
P.S: After The King's Man and now this, <PERSON> should be banned from doing mid-credits scenes because....woof. 5
