I'm a huge fan of Mathew Vaughan's work (with the exception of Stardust) & I enjoyed this one too but it didn't quite hit the mark.
The plot is good with plenty of twists & turns & it has Vaughan's style all over it including the unique stylised violence.
Bryce Dallas Howard makes a good nerdy author & Henry Carvil is hamming it up well as the over the top spy, but the big let down is Sam Rockwell . Somehow he just isn't quite right for the part of action star & comedy lead in Aryglle.
There's a lack of chemistry between Rockwell & Howard that holds the film back.
The usual soundtrack we all know & love in Vaughan's films also isn't quite right either.
So all in all the film just isn't as polished as you'd expect from Mathew Vaughan.
