In the early 1960s, CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB operative Illya Kuryakin participate in a joint mission against a mysterious criminal organization, which is working to proliferate nuclear weapons.
1963, the height of the Cold War. In an unlikely alliance, a CIA agent, Napoleon Solo and KGB agent, Illya Kuryakin, band together to save the world from nuclear disaster. A top nuclear scientist, formerly employed by the US, has gone missing. It is suspected his brother has kidnapped him to work on a nuclear bomb. Solo and Kuryakin accompany the scientist's daughter, Gaby, to Rome, as this is where her uncle is based. The idea is to covertly investigate his company and, hopefully, find the scientist and the bomb. Things aren't all plain sailing though. This is heightened by the fact that Solo and Kuryakin aren't sure they can trust each other and, to some extent, still regard each other as enemies.
Stylistically this film is top-notch. The music, cinematography production design, costumes and opening credits are all superb. The mood - that of a laid back yet still elegant &#39;60s - is also well captured. But was the story sacrificed in the process? The narrative - involving a missing scientist and a nuclear weapon possibly falling into the hands of some Nazi sympathizers - is so half-baked and altogether dull one might think that the story was always considered secondary. The film also opens flatly with some boring dialogue in an East Berlin auto shop and, in general, the film takes a while to get going and lacks a memorable action sequence - never a good sign in an action flick.<br/><br/>The casting is not all that successful either. Armie Hammer does his best with a thinly drawn caricature of a character. He utilizes a Russian accent so thick it appears to have been intended to be comedic. Henry Cavill fares even worse. His dialogue, for instance, often appears as if it was dubbed or looped in at a later date. Instead of appearing as suave, cool and debonair, he comes off as robotic. And his character&#39;s attempts to come off as witty always feel forced. The performance was like a bad James Bond audition. He does look good in a suit however. The Man From U.N.C.L.E is thus like its leading man - beautiful to look at on its surface, but underneath not much to write home about.
I&#39;m 63, so this was my thing at 7/8 years old. I was an agent. How this takes me back the first word i learned to spell. I was an uncle agent, with my mother empty embassy cigarette packet as my communicator, what fun…..the sixty. Its worth viewing if only for the fashion, eye candy not bad and some good moments just like the original. Love it….xxxxxxx ha ha! I so hope they make a 2 3 4. Total lost my self. BRILLIANT.<br/><br/>thank you Sans
There’s some nice early-60s period production design and the whole thing moves along smoothly, if unhurriedly. But it never delivers anything like the punch of Tom Cruise’s M:I adventures, nor the wit and distinctiveness of 007.
The film is based on the television series of the same name that ran on NBC from 1964 to &#39;68. The series was an espionage adventure about two secret agents, Napoleon Solo (<a href="/name/nm0001816/">Robert Vaughn</a>) and Illya Kuryakin (<a href="/name/nm0564724/">David McCallum</a>) who worked for an organization named the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.) The series was different from most other spy series of the time in that the agents were not acting on behalf of any country or government, but a private organization that was dedicated to fighting crime and evildoers. This was evidenced by the fact that the two agents on the series were an American (Solo) and a Russian (Kuryakin) working together during the Cold War. Their primary antagonist was a criminal network known as THRUSH which was dedicated to taking over the world. No. No, but some extra information about some of the characters are shown during the credits. See here or here for more information.
