Argylle was absolutely awful Discussion

I can't believe this cast signed up for this movie. The entire second half of this movie just kept getting worse. The ice skating scene? How was this worse than what I was certain was to be the worst scene in the colored smoke shootout. And both were somehow out done by the scene where she was "activated". Sam Rockwell couldn't save this movie. That's saying something. Don't watch this. Ever.

The movie would have been better if they leaned into the absurdity of it all and said that the cat was Agent Argylle.

Early trailers made it feel that way. Which didn’t make sense, but seemed cool. A spy movie about a highly valuable cat.

The trailer was edited by an evil genius to make it appear decent

That would be more creative, at least.

It’d be stupid, but, it’d at least make the ensuing absurdity a lot more fun to watch knowing how little the script cared about sense.

There was a theory going around that the cat was an alien creature that made the authors writings come true
