The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Reviews and Ratings
-
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is enjoyable fun, filled with likeable and charismatic lead roles and a good mix of humour, action and suspense. It’s a genre film that embraces its limits to the extent that it becomes its strength.
-
Even though it may come off as a little predictable, The Man From U.N.C.L.E has its own moments of bliss. The film would prove to be a enjoyable weekend watch as it is loaded with style.
-
The film focuses on all aspects in equal measure – it never gets too serious like a Jason Bourne film nor does it appear like a parody at any point. The production design is fantastic and add to it, there is also vintage music to complete the package.
-
The only underutilized part of the movie is Hugh Grant as a British Intelligence honcho who predictably ends up being the boss of both the spies. There’s even a predictable twist towards the end and one wishes the film left that one out and focused more on the bromance between Cavill and Hammer. In any case it’s a small complaint in a film that’s big on entertainment. Watch it.
