Review of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) by Michael1208 — 14 Aug 2015
Warner Brothers clearly knows the success of Sherlock Holmes, Mission Impossible, James Bond series, recent outstanding performance of Fox's Kingsmen and Spy but with much competition of the same genre, they decide to surprise the audiences with this remake of the 1960's popular TV spy series.
The film opens quite impressive with Impossible's style of action sequences between the two main protagonists which one of them is being featured as the villain. The first twisting part of the story line is predictable and it gets more thrilling when Director Guy Ritchie goes further to add twists and turns.
The WWII setting is well designed and crafted, the humorous chemistry between Cavill and Hammer is promising, the scores by Daniel Pemberton that keeps pounding 60's style soundtracks match the film perfectly while the cinematography and editing have presented the extended climax creatively and fast-pacing.
While the dialogues are not as intelligent as in Sherlock Holmes, the whole film is still fun, engaging and stylish to cover its lack of substance.
