Film Review:- "The Man
From U.N.C.L.E."
Review written by Dasha Ibrajeva
THE Man From U.N.C.L.E. is very stylish
and incredibly tasty movie with beautiful actors, outstanding humour and elegant
plot twists, and most importantly; it works as a perfect antidepressant! So, if
for any reason you are feeling down or just wishing to enjoy your time and get
charged with positive emotions, this film is exactly what your doctor would
prescribe.
The movie brings us back to the early 60's, when a roguish American secret
agent, Napoleon Solo, (Henry Cavill) is forced to team up with a severe KGB
agent, Illya Kuryakin, (Armie Hammer), to save the world from a mysterious
organisation. That's pretty much the whole story! You might ask me what is so
outstanding in it then. My answer will contain just 2 words:- "Guy
Ritchie"! This guy has a talent to create a masterpiece from simple and
ordinary things, and his latest movie:- "The Man From U.N.C.L.E."
is another great example that proves it.
The 1st thing that catches your eye whilst watching the movie is its elegance
and style. Vintage furniture, motorbikes, clothes, hairstyles, wine; all that
gives you indescribable taste of retro and allows you to be a part of this
beautiful era! Special thanks go to the talented, English composer, Daniel
Pemberton, whose musical accompaniment is beyond any praises.
Another thing that I'd like to highlight is that subtle and unobtrusive humour,
which is so characteristic in Guy Ritchie's movies. It is not trivial and always
comes to the right time and the right place, which only adds some unique charm
to the film.
The 3rd important component of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is its casting. I know
that many film critics couldn't accept the fact that the main roles went to
Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer, and were still imagining how cool it would be to
see George Clooney or Tom Cruise in the movie. Personally, I was very happy to
see fresh faces and really think that the film only benefited from it. Just look
at this lovely Cavill Hammer duo, both of them are so handsome, so sporty, so
funny; the lively role of Alicia Vikander? I simply fell in love with her.
Summing up, it was definitely 1 of the best movies I have seen this year! 2
hours flew like a minute, leaving me with a pleasant aftertaste and excellent
mood! It is, without a doubt, a "Must See" movie for everyone, so
what are you waiting? Run to the nearest cinema and get your own 2 hours of
pleasure!
