Review of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) by Moviemax — 17 Aug 2015
This lethargic movie felt like it was written for Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes 1&2), and would have weathered better had they both been in it. But, alas, we had to be exposed to the over acting of Cavill (Solo), and the rotten Russian accents of Hammer (Kuryakin) and others.
I was a fan of the U.N.C.L.E. series back in the day, and loved the 8 cool movies that spawned from it. Where was the slow-motion chase scenes? Where was the T.H.R.U.S.H. criminal organization? And where were the assassins with their infra-red sniper rifles? My advice is go rent the original movies (i.
E. The Karate killers, The Helicopter Spies etc.), only then will you truly realize what you missed. And as a final note, Hugh Grant only added to this movie's boredom.
