Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly's fictional books--which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate--begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past. Accompanied by Aidan (Oscar® winner Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly's fictional world and her real one begins to blur.

Critics Consensus

Argylle gets some mileage out of its silly, energetic spin on the spy thriller, but ultimately wears out its welcome with a convoluted plot and overlong runtime.

Audience Says

Argylle is an entertaining spy comedy with over-the-top action and plenty of surprises, although the fun starts to run out toward the end of its overlong runtime.

“Argylle” is fun in spurts with a strong cast of characters that help you get through the overly exaggerated runtime. But the script boxes itself into a corner too often and falls into repetition.

Los Angeles Times

Appreciating all these stars during a single visit to the movie theater is undoubtedly satisfying; but it was reasonable to expect much more from a $200 million mega-production that… is excessively conditioned by the use of CGI. [Full review in Spanish]

Argylle ultimately buckles under the weight of its own ambition, and the end result is a messy, overlong (if entertaining) romp.

Argylle is a fun spy action comedy full of Great action scenes, great performances that will you have fully invested in the characters with loads of fun unexpected twists. If you know Vaughns style you can expect silly, wild outlandish and campy

Rated: 6.5/10

It's almost impressive how visually ugly the sad excuse of a film Argylle is. From the obnoxious opening to its cringe conclusion, it's a low point in an otherwise good movie year.

By the end, the film gets a little too repetitive for my liking, making some of its final twists more underwhelming than what I would have hoped for in the last act of the movie.

Rated: 3/5

This movie had plenty of action and no lack of star Actors. In my opinion, this is too gory for under sixteen, but the plot is straight forward and easy to follow.

Nowhere near director Matthew Vaughn’s best work. This is a far cry from the likes of Kingsman, Kick-Ass, or X-Men: First Class. This is an incredibly cheesy and overly outlandish spy thriller, that unlike the previously mentioned Kingsman has nowhere near the same amount of fun or style.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I wish I could give zero scores. This having any ties to the Kingsman franchise is an embarrassment to the amazing other movies . This was garbage, and it was super frustrating to see the main actress for an action movie show up overweight…. No double standards there at all. Imagine a fat Captain America? Everything about this was garbage.
