What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. tries to distract from an unremarkable story with charismatic stars and fizzy set pieces, adding up to an uneven action thriller with just enough style to overcome its lack of substance.

Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) It succeeds admirably on its own terms - more so, I think, than his two Sherlock Holmes films - and while it never really transcends pastiche, its ambitions don't lie in that direction. May 28, 2019 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The high-octane thrill of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock films has been replaced by boring, hot guys suavely saving the world in this remake of the 60s TV show. Rated: 2/5 May 28, 2019 Full Review Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine I enjoyed The Man from U.N.C.L.E well enough, and I suspect you will, too. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 12, 2016 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is a strong outing from Guy Ritchie, one his fans and others should go back and see for the first time or get back to so they can see more of the details and art on display here. Rated: 4/5 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review John Serba Decider The filmmaker plows forward utterly unburdened by even the slightest hint of substance. It’s admirable, really. This movie makes a trifle look like a T-bone steak. Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal A ceaselessly satisfying tiki-bar timewaster that tells a common story often punctuated by innovative idiosyncrasies like a spy pausing a chase to savor a sandwich that looks very tasty or a cohort losing herself, however briefly, to a pop song's rhythms.

John L Absolutely excellent from start to finish. Brilliantly executed movie. Stylish, more fun, and exciting. Excellent performances from the leading actors/actress. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Torin F THE MAN FROM UNCLE is a serviceable, stylish but ultimately superficial spy thriller, easy on the eyes and the mind. The movie goes through all the motions with apparent homage to the source material, but lacks any of the force and flair that makes Guy Ritchie's best films so good. In other words, this is not one of Ritchie's best by any means---it's fine I guess as a popcorn flick, but really rather forgettable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Eric B Under-rated. Unlike Bond or MI, great franchises, but there is room for this MfU. It has a very different tone, is fun and funny and believe it or not, sometimes quite moving. For instance, when Illya Kuryakin rips up the hotel room toward the end. (No spoiler alert here. It's the "why" that counts). The acting was terrific throughout. And the direction was, of course, terrific as well. It's a Guy Ritchie film. The movie was compelling. It bombed when it came out, so I was half expecting to check it out briefly, then exit to watch something else. But it kept my interest, amused me, entertained me, and now, like so many others who've seen it on Netflix, I'm wondering and hoping for a Man From U.N.C.L.E 2. No doubt they'll fix the bugs, as Mission Impossible did after M.I. 2, which totally missed the mark. MfU is already close, very close, to being right there where it needs to be to be a successful franchise. I WILL miss Armie Hammer, though. He was great as Russian agent Kuryakin. But man oh man did he screw up. I have NO doubt the charges against him were inflated. He admitted to being emotionally cruel, and the BDSM was consensual. But all that "eating" was sensationalism. I doubt very much that he is The Jeffrey Dahmer of Hollywood. But it was there at the birth of MeToo, so he never had a chance. Good actor Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Alex I Loved it. Much better than the Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes films. Kept the spirit of the original tv series. Musical Score is fantastic. Henry Cavill is great, would be ideal as next Bond. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Alex F Last month, I found myself in an incredibly stressful situation. My business’s cryptocurrency wallet, which held a significant portion of our operational funds, was compromised.
