Argylle

I decided to see Argylle – and I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I am not the biggest fan of even the best spy movies. Sure, I’ve seen some, but they were never my go-to when it came to my comfort films. The spy movies – specifically the James Bond ones – were always more my dad’s thing. I usually stick to horror movies. However, Argylle finally came out in theaters at long last. So, out of my pure love of Henry Cavill, I gave it a shot despite not loving spy movies as much as others. And I have to admit, I had a…

Riding on a huge investment, the film has been struggling right from the opening day, and its end result would be no short of disaster. However, other than the performance at ticket windows, the film has been in the reports due to its budget and Henry Cavill’s salary. Keep reading to know more!

The blockbuster movie, about a spy novelist (Bryce Dallas Howard) who’s sucked into a real-life web of murder and espionage, had flatlined before even reaching cinemas. Was it the gaudy, laugh-repellent trailer that proved its undoing? The nebulous premise, which seemed to think there was something interesting about the question of…

Despite rumors that Taylor Swift wrote the tie-in book and a star-studded cast, Argylle has tanked in its opening weekend at the box office.Connected to the book Written by the enigmatic Elly Conway, the moniker of a pair of writers, Argylle is just as mysterious as its authors. Our main character, Elly Conway (Yes, like the book’s author) is a novelist who is about finish writing the ‘Argylle’ series, before being embroiled in her very own spy thriller. It’s a very meta affair that appears almost intentionally hard to…

For the last decade, writer/director Matthew Vaughn has been building the world of Kingsman, the franchise based around a secret group of English spies (which was inspired by the James Bond franchise). Now, he's directed Argylle -- a movie which is also about spycraft and that even includes reference to the Kingsman movies. It could mean that the first franchise exist in the "real world" of the 2024 movie schedule entry. So is there a possibility we could see these characters crossover? Vaughn isn’t writing off the idea,…

Writer-director Matthew Vaughn may have made a name for himself early on by putting his spin on superheroes, but in recent years, he has leaned into a specific brand of spy story-telling. While popular franchises like Kingsman are certainly James Bond-coded, Vaughn’s filmmaking style is more carefree and meta. This trait has easily transferred into his spy fim, Argylle. Based on the book by Elly Conway, Vaughn’s film takes a different approach to adaptation. The film features Conway as a character, portrayed by Bryce…

Director Matthew Vaughn has openly discussed his hopes to launch a franchise with the new meta spy thriller Argylle... but the first step toward making that happen was the film having a standout opening weekend at the box office, and that hasn't play out as hoped in the last three days. Thanks to an extremely slow start to 2024, the feature can presently claim to be the #1 movie in the United States and Canada, but the actual numbers suggest that audiences weren't particularly interested in the big screen offering.With…

There has been much discourse about Bryce Dallas Howard and the heels she wore in the first Jurassic World film. The most famous scene, of course, is one in which Dearing is running away from a T-Rex in two pencil-thin shoes, a memorable shot on the big screen and one that has lived on in memes in the years following the film’s 2015 release. This time around, her role in Matthew Vaughn’s new movie release has her literally chucking off her shoes completely in order to go on a killing spree. Argylle-1, Jurassic…
