“Argylle” is fun in spurts with a strong cast of characters that help you get through the overly exaggerated runtime. But the script boxes itself into a corner too often and falls into repetition.

Appreciating all these stars during a single visit to the movie theater is undoubtedly satisfying; but it was reasonable to expect much more from a $200 million mega-production that… is excessively conditioned by the use of CGI. [Full review in Spanish]

Argylle ultimately buckles under the weight of its own ambition, and the end result is a messy, overlong (if entertaining) romp.

The problem with being desperate to attract auteurs is that you end up giving them a longer leash to hang themselves with.
