undeniably funny
8 September 2015
There's a plot that glosses over the history very quickly,gives a brief mention of Hitler and the Russian and American conflict. However the events might arguably be set at any time, the threat of the flick being that nuclear weapons are being manufactured by dangerous hands. It's a theme that's been already handled many times on the big screen. In this story we see an excellent chemistry between the Actors but all in all The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is much more about fun than it is about substance. Aesthetically in general, the film marvels but then this wasn't really in doubt given its era and the glimpses seen in the trailer. There has been Ritchie's evident dedication to making his pictures look grand and to adding a classic sophistication to the world of espionage we haven't seen since early 007 days.
