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) May 28, 2019
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. Go to Full Review
Peter Bradshaw Guardian May 28, 2019
2/5
The high-octane thrill of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock films has been replaced by boring, hot guys suavely saving the world in this remake of the 60s TV show. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
I enjoyed The Man from U.N.C.L.E well enough, and I suspect you will, too. Go to Full Review

Style may trump substance in Guy Ritchie's latest effort but when the style is this decadent, the characters this effortlessly likable and the dialogue this deliciously smarmy, you'll still find your pants utterly charmed off. Go to Full Review
Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Nov 12, 2025
3/4
A worthwhile endeavor, with Ritchie toning down the spastic shooting style that all but destroyed his Sherlock Holmes films with Robert Downey Jr. Go to Full Review

6/10
The combination of cheeky characters, quirky camerawork, upbeat music (or highly contrasting tunes), snazzy editing, and loads of humor helps to make this project consistently entertaining. Go to Full Review

Anakin W Mar 28, 2019 This film is great. Elizabeth Debicki stood out with her performance and Henry was so much more entertaining in this film than in any of his recent DC films (if only Superman was like this!). It was a solid plot and good introduction to the characters. I hope they make more as the main cast had good chemistry. Any film that I anticipate sequels is 4 1/2 stars. Take my money. See more
Anakin P Mar 26, 2019 Terrific spy movie. Suspenseful and unpredictable!
Theodore G Mar 16, 2019 The acting from Cavill and Hammer were good, but the script was very stagnant and fairly cliche. An entertaining film, but nothing special. The twist near the end of the film wasn't anything to write about, even if you didn't see it coming. Big fan of the costume and cinematography, both full of eye popping colors. Made me want to go out and buy a suit. See more
Theodore M Mar 2, 2019 This movie is great - itâ(TM)s so funny and great action!
Rey G Feb 12, 2019 A little slow at times, but it had enough plot twists and spy action to keep me watching.
Finn G Feb 9, 2019 Escapism at it's best. These are glorious caricatures. The characters are top notch -- it's a satire within a spy movie. The movie delightfully mocks the over-the-top spy movie genre even as it revels in outdoing them. An outstanding show. Pure classy fun. Those who judge it as a solely a "spy" movie surely miss the point. This is also hilarious, witty, well acted and well timed. Shamelessly celebrating testosterone in it's suavest form. No political messages. Not PC. I wish I'd known how good it was when it came out. One of those movies I will enjoy watching again. Please do a sequel! There isn't much I pay to see at the Cinema -- this would be one. And one you can take your teenagers too see too. How rare is that! See more
