Casting is good. Hodge is very good in the roll. They have an excellent villain. This is based on James Patterson's writing so it should be top of the charts stuff. Unfortunately season one fell short. The writing for the tv series adaptation leaves much to be desired. It's predictable and unimaginative. Worse it's completely unrealistic. The production is B tv average for the most part with a few high notes here and there. It does have great potential if they tighten up the writing and bring a little realism and accuracy to the production. I think they've already promised a season 2 so hopefully the writing and production catches up to the quality of the cast and source material.

The Man from Uncle is a very well written, excellently directed and cast movie from beginning to end. Guy Ritchie delivers a fun and engaging movie that's perfect entertainment. He manages to pay appropriate homage to the original series it's based upon without being campy while also capable of entertaining people who have never seen the old series. Alicia Vikander, Arnie Hammer, and Henry Cavil all pull off their super spy rolls while Elizabeth Debicki and. Sylvester. Groth are Bond Level villains. Vikander plays one of the most attractive spy thriller characters since Jayne Seymour played Solitaire. When I ordered the movie I didn't expect it to be this fun and I don't understand why we weren't given an entire series of "Man from Uncle" movies?
