Deception
(30%)

The article is highly deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the movie is misleading as it does not mention anything about a cat being trapped or killed. Secondly, the reviewer claims that Alfie has no role in the first two hours of the movie and his big moment involves scratching out someone's eyes which is false information. Thirdly, there are several instances where statements made by characters in the movie are taken out of context to make them seem more sinister than they actually were. For example, when Elly says

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the review implies that it will be a critical analysis of Argylle when in fact it is a promotional piece for the movie. Secondly, Vaughn's previous success with Kingsman movies has led to an over-reliance on cliches and tropes which makes this film feel like a parody rather than an original work. Thirdly, the use of exaggerated CGI in Argylle is not only visually unconvincing but also detracts from the overall quality of the movie.
