The Man from U.N.C.L.E., 2 Stars


I loved this TV series in the 1960's and the movie is not a bad 're-boot'. The casting is good, the plot works and it's fun to see the 60's settings and styles.

I really like Henry Cavill - I thought his portrayal of Superman in Man of Steel was great. And I think he does a good, sardonic version of Napoleon Solo. I don't recall Armie Hammer but he also does well as Ilya. Alicia Vikander seems to be surprised and unsure of her role - her performance is only memorable for that.

Long (almost 2 hours) but I'd see it again to catch some of the quips. I foresee a sequel if the revenue gods agree.
