“So I have news….A fresh little unpleasantness has arisen…. but I’ve spoken to your superiors and now that we’re all such good friends, they’ve kindly agreed to let me keep the team together for awhile. Oh, and you have a new code name…..rather a good one…..U.N.C.L.E.”

Henry Cavill stars as Napoleon Solo, an indentured Agent for the American C.I.A. at the height of the Cold War in 1963 tasked with crossing into Russian controlled East Berlin, Germany and extracting…….

Gaby Teller(Alicia Vikander), a female mechanic whose father Dr. Udo Teller worked for the Germans during War World II developing rocket technology. After the war he worked for the Americans until he suddenly disappeared. Now Napoleon needs to convince Gaby to escape with him into West Berlin to help find her Father before the Russians get to her. As they try to escape they are followed by…….

Illya Kuryakin(Armie Hammer), a Russian KGB Agent tasked with stopping Napoleon and extracting Gaby for the Russians. A car chase ensues with Illya hot on their tale but Napoleon and Gaby manage to escape over the wall into East Berlin.

The next day the Russians and the Americans decide to team up together to stop Alexander(Luca Calvani) and Victoria Vinciguerra(Elizabeth Debicki), Nazi sympathizers who have kidnapped Dr. Udo Teller to build a nuclear bomb for them. So Napoleon Solo, Illya Kuryakin and Gaby Teller (who is secretly working for the British MI6) set out on a mission to stop the evil villainous Victoria managed by Alexander Waverly(Hugh Grant).

I remember watching the TV Series as a kid and being a big fan. This is an excellent adaptation of the TV series. I love the chemistry between Illya, Napoleon and Gaby. Especially Illya and Gaby. In a scene in the hotel room Gaby decides to get drunk on Vodka and have some fun. She puts on her sunglasses, cranks the radio and starts dancing to entice Illya to join her, the chemistry between them is unmistakable. One of my favorite scenes.

This is an excellent Spy Caper, thoroughly enjoyable, good clean fun!

I’ve seen it several times, one of my favorites!

Highly Recommended!
