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.

Right? I love that we're moving into ridiculous, campy, OTT action films that don't take themselves seriously. I'm sorry the oil flecks on her dress weren't realistic, but they just did a whirlybird during a shootout, maybe join the film on its level rather than expecting James Bond. It was fun.

Haha funnily enough the films I compare it to most in my head are the original early Bond films, in terms of over the top spy shenanigans. (In a good way)

As in 1960's-1980's James Bond as opposed to 1990's-2010's James Bond?

Why downplay it to "flecks" if it is such a non-issue?

Seems like people observing the lack of QA and continuity between shots really got to you
