Man From UNCLE it a decent movie. It does not boast great acting, nor great direction, nor a good script, but overall it is entertaining and in today's world of explicit sex and consistent F-bombs flying - it is a movie that you can actually take the family to see.

Henry Cavill is average as Napolean Solo. It was not a good idea to have a Brit play an American. Cavill decided to play it as the snobbish, prissy British spy - ala James Bond - and not as the hip American that would have come from the 60's era.

It would have been better to have the American, who is playing a Russian, play Solo. It probably would have worked better if Hammer played the American and Cavill the Russian.

Every performance is average to below average. Not one single performance stands out and there is very little to no character development. The script is highly predictable and there is nothing spectacular in the entire film.

Like I had mentioned before - average to below average on every single scale - but a movie that you can take people to see without the fear of explicit sexual scenes and without the consistent ignorant usage of the F-bomb.
