Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo's only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.
You could tell that the movie was based on an old tv show because that is exactly how it played out. The writing, acting and action were TV level not movie level. The character development was especially TV like. It's not that the movie was awful. It was watchable and the banter between the two leads was entertaining. I'm just not sure that it was necessary to be made.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this. It's not necessarily a bad watch. It's just kind of there.
