Review of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) by Spangle — 16 Aug 2015
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was a ton of fun. Thanks to incredibly charismatic performances from Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, and Alicia Vikander, a film that could have fallen flat truly excels. Smart, funny comedic writing blends with an interesting plot and stylish set pieces to make for a very entertaining action spy comedy flick.
I should also mention that the costume design matches this style brilliantly with some seriously great suits and dresses. Not a fashion connoisseur by any means, but man did both the guys and women in this film look sharp.
As a whole, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. never takes itself too seriously and is very funny, while also having very thrilling action sequences throughout that are incredibly well shot and well directed. For me, I preferred this to the other recent spy film, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, though both are very different as that one aims to be serious, while this film takes a far more comedic approach.
Regardless, this one is a very good film that entertains in spades.
