The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Wickedly Entertaining!!!
REVIEW: We are pleased that the studio decided against George Clooney, Michael Fassbender and Ryan Gosling and decided to go with Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer who on big screen magic.
The big-screen adaptation of the 1960s spy series The Man From UNCLE was highly stylized, witty, sophisticated, humorous and with a splash of homo-erotica like only director Guy Ritchie can do.
This is by far one of Ritchie’s best films to date and is sure to be a classic film as it captured the essence of the era and feel of a 1960’s movie with 2015 film technology. One of our favorite directors, Steven Soderbergh was set to direct the film as one of his last hurrah victory laps before he swore off movies altogether. But like the Verge says, “attachments are only as good as the trade magazine paper they’re announced on.”
The film hit a road block in 2011 when Soderbergh ended up leaving the project over budget and casting issues, but things happen for a reason. The studio breathed new life into the project when Guy Ritchie was chosen to helm the project, which we feel was the perfect marriage.
The Snatch and Sherlock Holmes director took the project by the horns and put his magical touch of blissful styling and witty humor into the film and came out with the perfect group of actors and backdrop.
Like we said, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Wickedly Entertaining” it is definitely a MUST SEE movie this summer starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer.
Henry Cavill plays Napoleon Solo, a devastatingly earnest brow, hulking shoulders, genetically perfected skin laminate of a thief turned CIA spy who appeals to both women and men. His nemesis turned counterpart, Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) is ocular intensity, affability, communally agreed-upon status as Next Big Thing. The two spies, who are anchored by the Odd Couple dynamic of its two leads, from opposite sides of the track are played out like the comic strip, “Spy Vs Spy” onscreen. They have perfect chemistry. And with a film like this it’s all about chemistry.

Both men are gorgeous and put Ryan Gosling on the back burner for good looks because Cavill chiselled features and Armie’s brawn will have all the ladies begging for more sequels and next time a few shirtless scenes. Like they always say, “you’re only as good as your last film”, these two actor have a prosperous career a head of them, because they are the next set of leading men in Hollywood.
Here is the jest of the film:
The time is 1963, and Cavill plays Napoleon Solo, a former criminal turned US super spy. He’s in East Berlin to rescue an auto mechanic named Gaby (Ex Machina’s Alicia Vikander), whose father is at the heart of a plot to enrich uranium and build nuclear weapons. While trying to get her over the wall, Solo is interrupted by Illya Kuryakin (Hammer, taking his best Boris Badenov accent for a spin), a Russian spy with the same mission. Eventually the two men are forced by their respective bosses to team up to find Gaby’s father. With neither trusting the other — and the wild card of Gaby’s affections in play — the requisite hijinks ensue.
The best part is, if you are NOT familiar with the TV show, it’s NOT a big deal because the film is beautiful: the costume design evokes the idealized ‘60s perfectly, and the photography is so lush I found myself lost in the hazy glow of Cavill and Hammer’s chiseled visages. Ritchie has once again embodied the undeniable, kinetic energy of the 60’s era in all it’s glory. It almost felt like he took us there, because the film was so electrifying.
One of our favorite things about the film, was its villain Victoria (Elizabeth Debicki), she is the epitome of beauty and evil. She is a scenical widow that is classy and merciless. You might say the film is filled with good-looking people, but we know that it all has to do with Guy Ritchie’s vision. Watching Gaby (Alicia Vikander) was like watching a young Audrey Hepburn or Elizabeth Taylor in a classic film.
Great directors like Spielberg, Scorsese, Soderbergh, Lucas, are just of few have that true knack to take the audience into the world on the screen, making you get lost in all its glory. Guy Ritchie is one of the newest directors to achieve greatness alongside Guillermo Del Torro or Eli Roth.
As for Cavill, who has the astounding looks that of Rock Hudson, is the new Clooney and Armie, resembles that of the late Paul Newman, who we feel is the new Gosling. If Hollywood was looking for classic good looks, chiseled features and true talent, they have found both of the new leading men in Hollywood with Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer.
we hope to see a sequel to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. since how the film left off.
We don’t want to give anything away, but if you love fashion, spy films, action, men fighting, and humor than The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is your summer film.
