Art imitates life for a spy novelist and her beloved cat as they’re unwittingly swept up in a diabolical global conspiracy. Argylle is a convoluted and spectacularly wacky action comedy loaded with bombshell reveals. The film gets turned into a funhouse pretzel as a twist barrage constantly reshapes the narrative. Kingsman franchise director Matthew Vaughn takes espionage to slapstick heights with decidedly mixed results. A charming ensemble of Hollywood stalwarts have decent chemistry but are eventually lost in the bewildering shenanigans. Vaughn also goes off the rails with rapid-fire editing that honestly becomes exhausting.
