It’s like Mean Girls, but with murder. Sorta. It’s best if you don’t know too much up front.
Also, this is why I don’t have friends. Safest option.
Successful author, Elly Conway, has hit writer’s block with her hit series Argylle. When she’s thrust into a real-life spy mission, she finds more than mere inspiration. But will she survive long enough to put pen to paper once more?
A little trivia for those interested in the book: This movie is really about Books 5 & 6 of the Argylle series and serves more as a 2-hour long trailer for the film version of Book 1. Allegedly. No offense to Bryce & Sam, but this was a letdown.
A solid espionage thriller with intertwined stories that slowly twist their way into the same thread. Argylle is a non-spy-turned-spy with a complicated past with the very organization who “recruited” him for a series of missions that have deadly consequences. Can he figure out what’s really going on before he loses everything?
Stating for the record: This was superior to the movie, which is not [in fact] based on this novel in the slightest. So kudos to the Marketing team for bamboozling me.
Cali Mom’s bring all the drama when the adults choose all the wrong amounts of reacting to a series of bullying incidents among their kindergartners. Every character is traumatized either before or during these events and it’s a wild ride.
This worked way better as a TV series.
The blind audacity of a teenager lands him in a truly wild predicament. All because his family and his town assign a stupid amount of blame on him surrounding his psycho dad’s cancer battle and subsequent suicide.
You can’t even root for the whale because it quickly becomes a symbol of his dad in some strange—and failed—attempt at a trauma coping mechanism.
What if a group of American and Russian astronauts were onboard the International Space Station when war broke out on Earth and they were each given orders to take over the other group?
Congratulations. You now know as much as the filmmakers did when they started shooting this movie. No additional thoughts. No writing budget. No test screenings that would’ve revealed the absurd holes they left wide open, including the jolting absence of an ending. Just a group of the dumbest scientists to ever be granted access to the ISS doing the opposite of all the science things.
A teenage boy accidentally witnesses a murder. Now he’s a ‘loose end’ that needs tidying so he’s put into protective custody with a group of boys learning survival skills in the Montana mountains. Only, no one knows which kid in the group needs protection. So when the assassins track him down, everyone is at risk. Meanwhile, an out-of-control fire bears down on the survivalists and murders alike. Will anyone make it to the other side?
If you get the opportunity, I highly recommend the audiobook.
It’s the third one so we’re going international! Robert finds himself wounded in Italy, nursed back to health by the world’s sweetest locals. To repay their kindness he decides to take on the mob that controls the little town. Oh, and Dakota Fanning is there to accept very pointed ‘random’ tips from Robert along the way. Not sure I completely followed the whole web unravelling here, but Denzel does do some crazy things with a gun.
Justice hits a little closer to home for Robert McCall. When inquiries lead to the wrong person getting too close, Robert must figure out why a friend was caught in the crosshairs and if he can do anything to stop it from happening again. Not even a hurricane can slow his roll!
