'Argylle' A Review

Argylle is a meta-spy action-dramedy about an author of spy novels who gets embroiled in an espionage plot.

The cast is full of A-listers but there are too many of them and they are given too little to do. The movie has a great elevator pitch but the actual script is overlong, borderline incoherent, and is populated by paper thin characters no amount of talent can salvage it.

An over-reliance on unnecessary CGI and green screen give the movie a tacky, cheap look and the handful of action scenes with manic cuts and close ups do nothing to dispel this. The movie was either re-written and/or re-edited so many times the result is something that feels AI generated.

Too much plot, no actual story.

Currently in theaters, coming soon to Apple+.

Don't See It.
