I watched “Argylle”, for which AppleTV+ paid $200M. Director Matthew Vaughn says it’s like Diehard, Lethal Weapon, and Romancing the Stone. But to me, Argylle is almost a remake of The Long Kiss Goodnight (which also stars Samuel Jackson) and Mr. Right (which also stars Sam Rockwell). Which are both great movies I have watched several times. Why would a director attribute the wrong source material? And also weird that he promoted Henry Cavill as the star when the film is really about Bryce Dallas Howard and Sam Rockwell’s characters.
As for #argyllemovie, I agree with everyone — too convoluted, too much CGI, and too long. But in addition, tho I love Rockwell, he’s just way too old and his face is so polished, it’s distracting. And BD Howard has such a matronly butt. Neither are convincing as action stars. I guess blame the pandemic for some weird casting in 2021. 🤪😳🥸
