Comparison:
I’ve had headaches that were shorter and more pleasant.
Washington Post film reviewer Ty Burr apparently had a burr under his critical saddle. He strongly suggested via his headache notation that director Matthew Vaughn made the movie Argylle too long and featuring poor construction. Now where did he put that Tylenol?
Context:
The interminable, bullet-pocked cube of zirconium spy whimsy called ‘Argylle’ comes to us from director Matthew Vaughn, master of the hollow jape and laddish smirk. If you enjoyed ‘Layer Cake’ (2004), ‘Kick-Ass’ (2010) and the three ‘Kingsman’ movies (2014-2021)—well, you may or may not enjoy his latest action comedy, which takes a familiar premise and beats it to within an inch of its life over 139 long minutes. I’ve had headaches that were shorter and more pleasant.
