In the early 1960s, CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB operative Illya Kuryakin participate in a joint mission against a mysterious criminal organization, which is working to proliferate nuclear weapons.
Stylish but poorly scripted spy caper starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer.
The high-octane thrill of Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock films has been replaced by boring, hot guys suavely saving the world in this remake of the 60s TV show.
Cavill and Hammer are made for each other, but the film can’t always find the pyrotechnics to match their chemistry.
Verdict: All style, no substance.
When it takes a breather from the OTT action, Ritchie's period caper revels in double (and triple) crosses, Cold War intrigue and vintage kicks. Fun, but not quite the old-school Bond it wants to be.
Lightweight but stylish in a high-kitsch fashion.
The vibe is strong with this one. The rest... not so much.
