The Man from U.N.C.L.E *Spoiler Free* Review.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E is a refreshing, classy, stylish and elegant film. A definite must-watch! I rate it 8/10, 4 Stars.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E starring Henry Cavill (Immortals), Armie Hammer (The Social Network), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) and Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby) is an action-adventure, comedy spy film directed by Guy Ritchie and based on the 1964 MGM television series. Set in the height of the Cold War we see Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) the CIA's finest agent and Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) the KGB's best soldier forced to work along side each other, in an undercover plot to stop a illusive criminal organisation from using nuclear weapons to insight global war once more.

Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer create a very interesting dynamic between the duo, ultimately America and Russia have to team up for this mission but neither agents are very comfortable with this idea, in-fact the night before they were at each other's throats. Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer both deliver incredible performances and I believe that there couldn't have been a better choice for either character, they both fill the shoes brilliantly. Alicia Vikander also delivers an outstanding and very believable performance as Gaby Teller, a German car mechanic who also goes undercover with Solo and Kurakin. Throughout the film we see Solo and Kurakin both compete to assert who is the alpha and who is the beta of the two, they both have their own different, and preferred styles which are to reflect Russia's and American's ways, which are both just as effective. Over the duration of the film we naturally see the pair become closer but even before this we see moments of humour as they each have to abandon their own ways to get the job done, like children throwing a tantrum.

The film is based on the 1964 MGM television series and you can really see the imagery from this as well as that of the classic James Bond films with some stylish gadgets and sexy suits, Guy Ritchie has really created something special and memorable in this film, the cinematography is very bold but also elegant, we see a wonderful contrast of the stylish American agent with humour and class paired with the dramatic KGB soldier who brings, action and thrill, throughout the film this combination never disappoints. The story is filled with bold action and dramatic suspense but also an effective choice in humour, very tongue in cheek which accompanies the cinematography, acting and scene incredibly well. The script is very enjoyable and has a few twists, creating a not-so predictable spy film! With moments of romance, action, comedy, suspense and drama, fabulous visuals, stylish and slick camera work, classy antics and a very, very enjoyably plot; this film is a thoroughly enjoyable watch and fun for all the family!
