What was promised as a thrilling rollercoaster ride turned out to be a tepid, by-the-numbers caper that could put even the most forgiving action enthusiasts to sleep.

One might think it's hard to mess up a spy thriller, but "Argyle" takes this as a challenge, weaving a narrative so convoluted and devoid of logic that it leaves viewers not only confused but utterly disinterested. The screenplay seems to have been cobbled together from the cutting room floor of superior films, resulting in a story that lacks originality or coherence. The characters, if they can be called that, are cardboard cutouts lacking depth or motivation.

Oh man, let's talk about this one character, the old head of NASA, right? This guy, imagine the most grumpy old man you can, but slap a bunch of medals on him and give him control over space missions. He's ex-military, and oh boy, does he not let you forget it. Every scene he's in, it's like he's got a personal vendetta against happiness. He grumbles every other minute. It's like, dude, chill out! We get it, you walked uphill both ways to the spaceship in your day, but give it a rest already.

And then, there's the main female character, the supposed shining star of rationality and progress, right? Wrong! She's out here making decisions that make absolutely zero sense. It's like watching someone try to solve a Rubik's cube by throwing it against the wall and hoping it lands solved. "Let's take this untested technology to the edge of the black hole!" or "Sure, let's trust the alien species that has betrayed us five times already!" It's maddening! You're sitting there, yelling at the screen, wondering if she left her logic and reasoning back on Earth because, surely, it's not with her in space.

The directing, the writing, the acting are all stupid. The style is so 90s. No wonder Koreans are ass kicking. Japanese movies have very poor quality and didnt advance since the 90s.

I can't believe Netflix approved such garbage quality movie. Terrible actors and cliche acting. Also has a lot if plot hole. Really really stupid movie in general.

Poor plot and acting from Andy Lau and crew. Trying so hard to make the bunch of criminals so tough when in reality its not that easy. Also trying so hard to evoke audience emotion and too obvious about it.

The acting, the picture, the sound were perfect. I read the books and this was as I expected. I loved it and I hope this becomes a new "marvel" series like since Paul is not just the only interesting story to tell but his son and grandchildren has great stories as well.

Far cry from the last air bender. The characters are terrible and the plot had so many holes. The ending of season 4 was forced.

Who wrote and directed this movie? Bollywood? So many plot holes and stupid stunts that is unbelievable like Indian soap opera fx.

Really bad acting. Seriously and the character is also annoying as hell.

Poorly acted movie.... should have not used that actress.

The pace is waaaaaaay to slow. Its so slow burn that the first 7 episodes doesnt have much progression and its really annoying to watch this.

Plot is predictable. Its like all style but no substance.

What a terrible plot and characters. It could have been great but as usual they had to make it "artsy".

What a stupid plot for the 2nd season. They made the prince so stupid.

Nothing spectacular. Nothing new. Not a good directing, average plot.
