BASED on the marketing, you might think Henry Cavill and Dua Lipa are the stars of Argylle. But make no mistake: Bryce Dallas Howard is the unequivocal star of Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn’s new spy thriller. Turns out, she’s a pretty bad-a$$ action hero to boot.Don’t be fooled by what you may have read on social media either.

No, Taylor Swift did not write the movie’s source material. That much becomes obvious fairly quickly as Swift has never written anything as un-serious and ridiculous as the film’s James Bond-on-steroids-esque opening scene (though ME! comes close). Besides, Vaughn has already put that rumour to bed.

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
