Patrick Cremona
Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn returns to the world of espionage with this star-studded meta take on the genre. Author Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard) has just completed her latest book about super-spy Aubrey Argylle (Henry Cavill). However, when a rogue agent (Sam Rockwell) informs her that the plots of her novels are eerily similar to actual events, Conway finds herself forced into a real-world mission. The convoluted story that follows is packed with twists and turns that don't always land, while the humour is typically hit and miss. Vaughn's penchant for excessive action scenes scored by pop songs is also present. A colourful sequence in the final act stands out, but most of the set pieces are hampered by shoddy CGI. Despite the film's flaws, its game cast is likeable, and the tone is breezy enough for Argylle to pass as solid entertainment. It's by no means a reinvention of the genre, but as a dose of silly escapism, you could do worse.
