The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. written and directed by Guy Richie, starring Alicia Vikander, Henry Cavill, and Armie Hammer.

This was just a fun buddy cop type of movie set in the 1960's.  This movie doesn't aspire to be anything else but fun and in my opinion this movie succeeded on every level of that aspiration.  Guy Richie's direction is once again really getting the hang of these action films.  He continues to maintain good control and communication on the action scenes, never letting them get out of control or ahead of him.  There is never any confusion as to what is happening with the action scene - for some directors they think over editing and flashy effects are the only way to go with these types of scenes.  Whereas subtly and less is more is better.  The production design and costumes in this movie also compliments the direction - which Richie wants to show and not hide in lazy direction.  By doing this the production and wardrobe is given full room to live and breathe as they becomes another character in the movie.  Then and the three leads into this mix who really go all out with their roles as the chemistry between all three is full of sizzle and sparks making this movie one fun ride from beginning to end.

A good time to spend watching a movie.  I don't think you will be disappointed.
