Argyle – Film Criticism
Vaughn wasn’t prepared for that, because after the test screenings, which were great, he was convinced that he had made a nice, fun movie.
-I thought I made a nice, relaxing movie. We didn’t make Citizen Kane, but crap, and then the reviews came out and I thought, “Wait a minute, what did I do to offend these people?” They were full of poison. I’m not saying my video was perfect, but I didn’t think it was offensive. This surprised me.

After analyzing the reviews, the director decided he needed to rethink why some things weren’t understood. This reception is something I want to draw conclusions from for the future.
-I even went to the movies on purpose because I thought I might have somehow lost the plot along the way. This surprised me. Honestly I still wonder about it because it’s impossible to ignore. It wasn’t just a few negative reviews.
He adds that the film achieves good results when broadcast on the Apple TV+ platform, and viewers rate it well. He says plans for a sequel have been developed.
– Nothing could make me happier than making a sequel. I get text messages like “tr reviews were too harsh”. The more people watch Argylle, the greater the chances of a sequel.
These various plans also included a proposed introduction in the film itself.
