Argylle 2024

I was really excited for this film and I let people saying it’s bad talk me out of seeing it at the cinema. I think that was a mistake coz I did like this. It was fun. Matthew Vaughn is a brilliant director his fight scenes are always so unique. I feel like he would direct a great mcu or dcu film.  This didn’t make sense tho and I have a lot of questions. A lot of stuff a lot of the characters did felt dumb and pointless. The brainwashing? According to the end they could make her do whatever they wanted anyway by playing some music. Doesn’t that make half the film pointless? That whole aspect of it was really dumb to me.  Cool cast. Extra points for John Cena.  I feel like the change in her character (twice) was too drastic and made her character feel a bit inconsistent.  What was the ending and post credits? Was it just me or did that not make sense. Had to research it after and I still don’t get it.  “Or so we think. At the end of the film, prior to the mid-credits scene, a new character played by Cavill shows up at Elly’s book launch with an even crazier wig than the flattop the actor wore as Argylle and a southern accent to boot. Dun dun dun! So there is a man out there in Elly’s real world who looks almost identical to the character she created and named Agent Argylle. Is this scene telling us that he’s the “real Agent Argylle,” then, and not Elly/Rachel — despite the fact that we’ve just watched an entire film clearly lay out all the ways that Elly used the details of her spy past as inspiration for her novels? Did she know an Argylle in her spy days, and has she repressed her memories of him? Is Partridge playing a younger version of this second Cavill character in the mid-credits scene (sans southern accent, which is presumably part of some undercover ruse)?” I’m just left with more questions.  7.1/10
