Im genuinely scratching my head about that, because you cant ignore it.

It wasnt like [just] a few bad reviews.

It is what it is.

You learn from these things.

Argyllehas now made over $96M on a reported budget of $200M.

Although it wasnt a box office success, Vaughn says the film is doing very well on streaming.

People are liking it.

Nothing would make me happier than making another one.

Im getting texts saying, Wow, those reviews were fucking harsh!

The more we can get people to watchArgylle, the more chance we make another one.

Itll make a good little movie.

Well see, he adds.
