Argylle Ratings & Reviews
- neuroparadox7d agoThis was dangerously close to a good bad movie. Cut out 45 minutes and a few of the (ugh) "twists" and give me a call back. Missed opportunity: to have Henry Cavill kiss John Cena.
- RyezooFebruary 4, 2025Twisty Twists makes this movie go dumb dumb. This movie had a lot going for it great actors, director and in first two acts great action set pieces. The movie goes straight looney tunes in its third act to its detriment. Don’t get me wrong there is some laughs throughout and you can power through the dumb, but it’s a bummer that it dropped my rating a solid point. Also the post scene didn’t do much for me. Felt like they wanted the audience to go AHA!
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025I have not read any reviews. Yet I can definitely sense the negative energy surrounding this film. Some of it’s understandable. I intentionally try to never watch trailers and somehow even I feel like I’ve seen this trailer a bazillion times, and there’s a lot of aspects of the marketing that feel a little bait and switch-y from the poster, to the book tie in. I would not even be surprised if it’s the marketing department themselves that started the rumor that Taylor Swift is secretly the author of the book. All that being said, I had a really good time watching this. First and foremost, I loved Bryce Dallas Howard and Sam Rockwell. Howard is delightful and charming, and I loved seeing her truly lead a big budget action thriller. Rockwell is always hilarious in my book. He always has this wild and unpredictable energy on screen that makes him magnetic to watch. The story and action are a massive mixed bag. Twists upon twists upon twists can sometimes make character motivations really seem nonsensical by the end. And the CGI is …… let’s say…..not very good. BUT I was willing to look past most of the suspect visuals because of the film knows not to take itself too seriously. The skating on oil and the smoke ballet are ludicrous, but I found them to be both creatively conceived and really fun in execution. I can admit that the runtime was waaay too long and Henry Cavill’s haircut may give me nightmares, but I really enjoyed this and I actually hope we get more regardless of whatever those credit sequences mean. Plus, my kids really enjoyed it which usually warrants some additional grace from me.
- JLM @BlockbusterJune 23, 2025Unique, Different. That is something to appreciate these days.
- KylachamJune 8, 2025Very poor, considering the cast. Not clever enough to be Knives Out, and not fun enough to be Bullet Train. This is one you can safely miss as the only memory you'll keep is Henry Cavill's haircut.
- tellumMay 29, 2025This movie benefits from 2024 being one of the worst movies for big budget films. This is not nearly as bad as Madame Web or Unfrosted or Borderlands, but it’s not too far off either. Sure the movie doesn’t “take itself seriously” but I should at least be able to understand the plot, which is really difficult with inconsistent rules in this fantasy world. There are simply way better romantic/adventure movies that are so much better, this isn’t worth anyones time.
