The Man From UNCLE - 4/10
This could have been so, so much better. Armie Hammer, who I think did a stellar job in Social Network and Lone Ranger (yup), was definitely the standout here. Made it watchable. Henry Cavill, on the other hand, continues to show that he is an abysmal actor.
Not nearly enough humour, which is where it fell short. Definitely not enough action to be interesting or set itself apart from, say, Mission Impossible. The female lead, who was phenomenal as Ava in Ex Machina, was brutal here. Jared Harris, who was terrific in Mad Men, had a throwaway role, as did Hugh Grant.
Again, Hammer was really solid. So much so that he makes this movie watchable.
But Cavill. Boy, oh boy.
