I watched Argylle the other day. A really stupidly funny movie. Sam Rockwell is just the best.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is another a fun nonsense action.

That was a good watch. I enjoyed it.

As a big Ritchie fan, I couldn't make it through. I'll try again but it was lacking the usual charm.

The cast was great, but the writing....bit slow

It's McDonalds cinema, good when you're stoned, and not too often.

I think I was stoned actually. I'll give it another go.

It's hardly possible to parody the absurdity that is spy action movies but they did. The bon mots were better than Bond movies too.

Unpopular opinion but I thought it was great fun. The critics can ☝️

For sure. Bryce Dallas Howard looks great in it too. So does SLJ. Dude does not age.
