A bit of a love child between 'Bullet Train' and 'The Lost City', except 'Argylle' is so much worse than both of those films.
It's wild to think this movie wasn't actually too bad for the first half, heck even arguably the first two thirds were fine. And then it goes off the rails so incredibly fast and hard it really is difficult to believe. It begs the question as to why? It's a silly spy movie if course, but that doesn't mean go full stupid. Remember RDJ's line to Ben Stiller in 'Tropic Thunder' about never going full (blank)... yeah it did that. Never do that.
I hate to say it because she seems like such a sweet heart, but Bryce Dallas Howard was not casted well. Sam Rockwell can hardly do wrong, and he's the brightest spot here, but he can only carry so much.
Honestly, I just don't know what happened. It almost seemed like they were running out of time and slapped the last third of the film together and went "yup, that should work". That brings up another point, it was way too long. It dragged on and on. It just wouldn't end.
