#SundayReviews: "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."


Based on the television series of the same name The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is supposed to be a mix of espionage, action, and comedy.

Can this remake recapture the magic?

From Google:

"At the height of the Cold War, a mysterious criminal organization plans to use nuclear weapons and technology to upset the fragile balance of power between the United States and Soviet Union. CIA agent Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and KGB agent Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) are forced to put aside their hostilities and work together to stop the evildoers in their tracks. The duo's only lead is the daughter of a missing German scientist (Alicia Vikander), whom they must find soon to prevent a global catastrophe."



This was much better than I expected honestly. Had I known it would be this entertaining I'd have watched it in the cinema...

The comedy and action were pretty good, with the start of the film being particularly clever.

DEFINTELY WATCHABLE.

QBF Rating: 3.5/5

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
