Review by nayokow

What was promised as a thrilling rollercoaster ride turned out to be a tepid, by-the-numbers caper that could put even the most forgiving action enthusiasts to sleep.

One might think it's hard to mess up a spy thriller, but "Argyle" takes this as a challenge, weaving a narrative so convoluted and devoid of logic that it leaves viewers not only confused but utterly disinterested. The screenplay seems to have been cobbled together from the cutting room floor of superior films, resulting in a story that lacks originality or coherence. The characters, if they can be called that, are cardboard cutouts lacking depth or motivation.
