Argylle Review: Does Matthew Vaughns Latest Live Up To Kingsman

As a big fan of spy cinema, particularly the vintage kind from the early days of James Bond, Ive always liked what Matthew Vaughn was doing with his yarns. While many say he should direct an actual 007 film, its clear to me as a fan of the genre that Vaughns heart belongs to a bygone era in espionage movies. If the Kingsman movies were his gonzo, Rrated riff on the Roger Moore James Bond movies he grew up watching, Argylle is his tribute to the campy James Bond knockoffs that hit theaters in the late sixties. Imagine the 1967 allstar version of Casino Royale, mixed in with a hefty dose of the Our Man Flint series, with a hero played by Sam Rockwell, who seems to be channelling Dean Martins take on the Matt Helm films, and youve got a wacky spy yarn thats unwieldy, but also quite entertaining.
