'Argylle' Review: A Feline Can't Rescue It The film 'Argylle' fails to deliver as a spy movie, lacking in enjoyment and causing frustration. The writer expresses concerns about the use of artificial intelligence in creative industries. Despite not being written by A.I., the film embodies a soulless, robotic feel. Directed by Matthew Vaughn, the movie offers mild surprises but lacks genuine affection for the spy genre it seeks to honor. The protagonist, Elly Conway, a spy novelist, embarks on an unexpected adventure. Despite some potential, the film ultimately falls short of expectations.
