Argylle

I remember when this first came out, and the bad reviews it got. Those reviewers need to extract the sticks stuck up their collective butts. I was laughing out loud at multiple spots in this light hearted, farcical tribute to the action/spy genre. Excellent cast and major plot twists coming at least every fifteen minutes. There was even a hat tip to the 1979 spy comedy “The In-Laws”, where Peter Falk’s character explains to Alan Arkin’s character that spies tend to look like someone on the street you wouldn’t look twice at, not extremely handsome male models with elaborate hair styles and distinctive clothing. It’s not out on optical disk (I am a big fan of physical media), but it is streaming on Apple TV. Well worth the popcorn if you have a subscription.
