Cast him as the new James Bond. At the height of the Cold War, a mysterious criminal organization plans to use nuclear weapons and technology to upset the fragile balance of power between the United States and Soviet Union. CIA agent Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and KGB agent Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) are forced to put aside their hostilities and work together to stop the evildoers in their tracks. The duo's only lead is the daughter of a missing German scientist, whom they must find soon to prevent a global catastrophe.
To start of, The Man from U. N. C. L. E isn't a blockbuster action movie that has everything you need to get entertained as it has some flaws here and there including the pacing at some parts however, there are many aspects that make this movie a thrilling and fun one. This movie is a great mix between old classic spy movies and modern action movies. Its action packed and really hilarious; one of the funniest action movies in my opinion. The action sequences were really good and some of them even included funny bits. The cinematography is really good and so is the editing. Although the screenplay was pretty good, the script could've been a bit better. In general, Guy Ritchie did a great job.
Acting wise, Henry Cavill stands out as Napoleon Solo (I really hope to see him as the new James Bond) and shares a great chemistry with Armir Hammer who playes Illya Kuryakin. Their love-hate relationship makes the movie even funnier. The rest of the cast was really good too.
Score:7.5/10.
