Movie #3379 ........................."Argyle" (Apple)

 Movie #3379 "Argyle"  (Apple)  I was a fan of the "Kingsman" films, so I wanted to watch this when I saw the trailer a while ago.  There were lots of twists and it ws a fun film to watch --- however, there was too much violence and fighting for me, along with colored smoke from blowing up stuff.  I did like the music, and all the famous people who showed up in it --- esp. Sam Rockwell!!!! The story within the story was a cute idea, but the story got too long for me and a bit convoluted with lots of small details that weren't used well enough, and a macguffin (masterkey).  By the end, the film did hit on the major plot line of the story fairly easily and tied up those lose ends.  Plus, it hinted at the next Kingsman, I think.  I'd give this  a 3.8 out of 5.
