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.

Read Critics Reviews

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.

Kristen Lopez TheWrap “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. Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Sergio Burstein 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] Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Lauren Coates Chicago Reader Argylle ultimately buckles under the weight of its own ambition, and the end result is a messy, overlong (if entertaining) romp. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 15, 2024 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici Loud and Clear Reviews 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 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Yasmine Kandil Discussing Film While not completely uninspired or tedious, the film does come off as rather lacklustre and artificial. The charm that usually exudes from Matthew Vaughn’s other works is just not present here. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review Víctor López G. Espinof It doesn't take any of its aspects seriously, which allows it to exude freshness when crafting its many gags and evolving a plot that pushes the suspension of disbelief to its limits.

Hunter So many twists that you either see coming or shock the heck out of you, this movie is certainly entertaining, albeit not the best from Matthew Vaughn Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review AB There were definitely some cheesy moments through out the entire movie. However, it was a mix of comedy, action, romance, and in general not as predictable which was awesome. Entertainment value was great!!!

Synopsis 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.
