This is the kind of movie that requires suspension of disbelief and willingness to just have a bit of fun. Kind of a 2024 foray into the comedy/spy genre popular in the sixties. Think Get Smart. Henry Cavill is great, playing it straight in the role of Argylle, a character who seems to be an homage to the many bulletproof spies who went before him. Okay, the hair seemed weird at first, but once we see the doll version of Argylle, we get it. He's a sharp and precise example of heroic perfection. Of course his hair is sharp. Lol. Sam Rockwell brings the unique energy and style that make him a loveable scene stealer every time he shows up. That little Rockwell dance, yes!! I admire Bryce Dallas Howard . She did an excellent job, and yet I don't feel this role really suited her as much as others she has played. My take: Fun to watch. Lots of cool details, excellent secondary characters (Brian Cranston, Catherine O'Hara, Samuel L. Jackson and Chip the cat), and an excellent soundtrack. A little ice skating sequence at the end was a bit of a shark jump, even for this genre, but overall I would recommend.
