The Man from U.N.C.L.E is a straight up man.
Growing up I never cared much for the Bond films or Mission Impossible movies. However, recently over the years my feelings towards these kinds of movies have softened—in most part due to the quality of two of the last three Bond films. So, when I saw the trailers for The Man from U.N.C.L.E I was hooked. It looked slick, sexy and stylish, all elements that I feel have been missing in movies as of late. Based on the mid-60’s TV series of the same name, that ran for 100+ episodes and starred Robert Vuangh (Bullitt (1968) and The Magnificent Seven (1960)) and David McCallum (NCIS), this movie was about a super-secret spy organization called U.N.C.L.E that teamed up an American CIA agent and Soviet KGB agent.
