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) 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. May 28, 2019 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The high-octane thrill of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock films has been replaced by boring, hot guys suavely saving the world in this remake of the 60s TV show. Rated: 2/5 May 28, 2019 Full Review Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine I enjoyed The Man from U.N.C.L.E well enough, and I suspect you will, too. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 12, 2016 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is a strong outing from Guy Ritchie, one his fans and others should go back and see for the first time or get back to so they can see more of the details and art on display here. Rated: 4/5 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review John Serba Decider The filmmaker plows forward utterly unburdened by even the slightest hint of substance. It’s admirable, really. This movie makes a trifle look like a T-bone steak. Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal A ceaselessly satisfying tiki-bar timewaster that tells a common story often punctuated by innovative idiosyncrasies like a spy pausing a chase to savor a sandwich that looks very tasty or a cohort losing herself, however briefly, to a pop song's rhythms. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 56 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Partial Nudity, Action/Violence and Some Suggestive Content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $45,400,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Ryan H. This was such a good spy movie that got swept under the rug! I love the idea of having enemies work together in an 80’s style spy flick. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Ryan B It was refreshing to have a spy movie feel not so tense and uptight the entire time. Great acting in my opinion! Underrated! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Martin V Excellent version and wonderfully acted. A true gem of action that has gone unnoticed. Another magnificent work by Guy Ritchie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review El G Film maker Guy Ritchie has a flavorful style (and flair). He delivers again in a thoroughly enjoyable Bond-style movie with more intrigue and smirk than Fleming. An A+ action thriller with great villains, smart technology and slightly believable plot. The pairing of UNCLE and Ritchie was genius. Hand-in-glove. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Shahed H I really enjoyed this movie — it was actually such a fun watch. The twists were nice and kept me interested the whole time. It didn’t feel boring or draggy at all, which I appreciate. I also wasn’t expecting it to be this funny, but the humor actually landed and made the characters feel more entertaining to watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
