Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books–which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate–begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past. Accompanied by Aidan (Oscar® winner Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur.
Starring: Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Henry Cavill, John Cena, Dua Lipa, Bryan Cranston, Sofia Boutella, Ariana DeBose, Catherine O’Hara, Samuel L. Jackson
“At its core, it’s a light-hearted spy romp that riffs on a lot of the soap-opera tropes that crossover into the realm of espionage. “Dumb fun” might get thrown around a lot with Vaughn’s films, and it might be true, but Argylle does try to be smart in its execution.” (Maggie Lovitt, Collider)
“The chemistry among the cast, notably Bryce Dallas Howard and Sam Rockwell, combined with Vaughn’s fanciful direction, invites audiences to embrace its mix of whimsy and humour.” (Neil Soans, The Times of India)
“At the very least, the filmmaker offers up some cool things that we haven’t seen in a modern action movie like this, which can be very challenging in the wake of many “Mission: Impossible” and “John Wick” movies. For that, Argylle is worth a trip to the theater.” (Ethan Anderton, Slashfilm)
