Argylle
(Film | Action Comedy)
| Rotten Tomatoes | 33% (but 72% with audiences) |
| IMDB | 5.7/10 |
| Metacritic | 35 |
Is it a flop? Maybe, but it’s currently at the top of the Apple TV+ movie charts. In fact, audiences give it a 72% despite the 33% rating given by critics (and it was definitely a hit with some of us here at iDrop News). With such a large disparity between ratings, it only made sense to include it on this list.
This spy action comedy directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman, X-Men: First Class) features an introverted novelist intrigued by the world of espionage. After experiencing writer’s block while working on her next book, she finds herself targeted by an organization dubbed “The Division.” The Division believes the stories in her novels seemingly predict their own real-life circumstances.
Argylle is overrun by big-name stars, including Henry Cavill, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, Samuel L. Jackson, and — if you can see him — John Cena.
For fans of a certain other Matthew Vaughn film, it may be worth sticking around for a mid-credits scene.
