The greater the spy, the bigger the lie.

Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard), the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books—which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate—begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past.

The scene is set 20 years earlier, and it’s at the King’s Man restaurant. A young guy stands at the bar and orders a Cosmopolitan with a twist. The bartender says it doesn’t look like they’re in a club or a pub. The young guy says hold the vodka, the Cointreau, and the cranberry juice; just the twist. The bartender nods and gives the young guy a box containing a pistol and a silencer. The bartender asks the young guy’s name, and he responds “Aubrey Argylle.” The scene fades to the cover of the first Argylle book, and then the words “Book One The Movie – Coming Soon” appears.

“1 year later and after good behavior”, Wolf, Snake, Tarantula, Shark, and Piranha get out of prison. Wolf and Snake are talking about Birthdays again. Wolf asks Snake what he wishes for. Snake replies “What do I have to wish for? I have my friends and freedom.” They realize that they don’t have a ride waiting for them so Snake says “maybe I should wish for a ride.” Wolf snaps his fingers, says “Alakazam“ and Foxington drives up in Wolf’s car. She says “you guys ready to go to work?” Wolf then talks to the audience saying “get closer (camera moves closer), now that we’ve had some time to get acquainted, not so scary right?” Then they drive off into the sunset.
During the rest of the credits, pictures that were on the refrigerator are shown. The last picture is the one from last year’s birthday and you hear laughing.

What did you think of this film?
Spanning a half-century, Cheney’s (Christian Bale) complex journey from rural Wyoming electrical worker to de facto President of the United States is a darkly comic and often unsettling inside look at the use and misuse of institutional power. In McKay’s capable hands, the dichotomy between Cheney, the dedicated family man and political puppet master, is related with intimacy, wit and narrative daring. Guided by his formidable and unfailingly loyal wife, Lynne (Amy Adams) and mentored by the brusque and blustery Donald Rumsfeld (Steve Carell), Cheney insinuated himself into the Washington D.C. fabric beginning with the Nixon administration, becoming White House Chief of Staff under Gerald Ford, and after five terms in Congress, Secretary of Defense for George H.W. Bush. In 2000, he left his position as C.E.O. of Halliburton to run as Vice President to George W. Bush (Sam Rockwell) with the implicit understanding that he would exercise almost unchecked control, a co-president in all but name.

Cheney’s cunning and furtive political maneuvering have altered the American political landscape in ways that will continue to reverberate for decades to come. But it is clear there is more than one Dick Cheney, a man whose reputation in the public Spector belies his private life and obvious devotion to his family.
