The plot, as warned, is almost entirely superfluous.But ah, there is such pleasure to be found in the small, integral pieces of the flippantly constructed whole: just try saying Debickis name Victoria Vinciguerra out loud, like the first two words of a tongue-twister, and not smiling.My jaw hurt from the feature-length grin Ritchie elicited, and its good to see him, like Hugh Grant in this film, back at ease.If one must slouch, one best do it hidden by an impressively-cut suit, and The Man From UNCLE is as lovingly tailored as they come. Even if it wears brogues, not Oxfords.

The only underutilized part of the movie is Hugh Grant as a British Intelligence honcho who predictably ends up being the boss of both the spies. There’s even a predictable twist towards the end and one wishes the film left that one out and focused more on the bromance between Cavill and Hammer. In any case it’s a small complaint in a film that’s big on entertainment. Watch it.

Another aspect that deserves being mentioned is the fact that being a period film, the makers of THE MAN FROM U.N.CL.E. have managed to do a rather fine job that is evident from the effort to get things right. With detailed attention being paid to the look and feel of the decade that was, a keen observer will easily spot in the film certain iconic looks prevailing at that time. On the whole, if you are a Guy Ritchie fan, despite its average storyline, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. is definitely worth a watch, with a lot to offer.

he Man from U.N.C.L.E. is a sleek and stylish homage to the 60s TV show of the same name. It features strong performances, stunning cinematography and sharp dialogues that will keep you entertained.
