"Based on the successful TV series and the spy films of the 60s, 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.', hugely popular at the time. Directed by Guy Ritchie ('Sherlock Holmes', 'RocknRolla'), the movie features very flashy action sequences in the usual style of the director, although behind them lies a banal, somewhat extravagant script in the era of Daniel Craig's James Bond, with a tone that lies between 'Casino Royale' and 'Get Smart'. The movie is rescued by its undeniable spectacularity and the charisma of a cast led by Henry Cavill ('Man of Steel'), Armie Hammer ('Call Me By Your Name'), Alicia Vikander ('The Danish Girl') and Elizabeth Debicki ('The Great Gatsby')."
