The Man From UNCLE Is The Fun Retro Spy Thriller You Really Should Go See - Jalopnik
The Man From U. N. C. L. E. opens with a stylized newsreel depicting the rising tensions between the Communist East and Democratic West during the height of the Cold War, and a world that seemed to teeter on the edge of nuclear apocalypse. I am a little late to the game in reviewing this film, which gives me the benefit of seeing other reviews as well as audience reaction to the film before jumping in and giving my take, which is essentially that they took this shit way too seriously. The basic plot of U. N. C. L. E. is a big Italian company with family ties to the Italian Fascists of World War II are looking to develop a nuclear bomb. The quick review is: chances are that if you read Jalopnik regularly, you will enjoy this film. The Man From U. N. C. L. E. started as an American TV show in 1964, with input from some big names in television at the time, and even James Bond creator Ian Fleming himself - who was later forced to leave the project due to many things, including... The character Napoleon Solo, who is played by Henry Cavill in this new film, is credited as being created by Fleming. Source: jalopnik.com
