	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"An unusually restrained Guy Ritchie serves up solid entertainment with a classy touch, but bland leads and no-sizzle chemistry make this slick ’60s TV adaptation forgettable."	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Long on style but short on substance, Guy Ritchie's ring-a-ding-ding Cold War spy thriller attempts to resurrect a mothballed '60s TV series the way that Mission: Impossible did. It doesn't work this time"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"With brisk pacing, and a cast this attractive parading the kinds of fashions that will remind you how much you miss 'Mad Men', most of the movie boasts a Mod crispness."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"It's got a few things going for it and it's not unenjoyable to sit through, but, at the same time, the tone and creative register never feel confident and settled. It's not bad but not quite good enough either."	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"There’s some nice early-60s period production design and the whole thing moves along smoothly, if unhurriedly. But it never delivers anything like the punch of Tom Cruise’s M:I adventures, nor the wit and distinctiveness of 007 (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A sensuous rush of snappy period costumes, elegant beauties, dapper men, kinetic action and so-so quips, and because Ritchie seems even less concerned with story than usual, that blinkered approach very nearly works."	NEU
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"'U.N.C.L.E' has enough style and smarts to make it an amusingly louche summer movie: a cultivated mix of action and wit, suits and cities, that feels refreshingly analogue in a digital world (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"Armie Hammer has given several of the worst performances in recent years (...) The big surprise in The Man from U.N.C.L.E is that Henry Cavill is even worse (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"A lower key, vintage edition of a “Mission: Impossible” movie. It’s a good movie with a great look (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"Nice suits; dull movie"	NEU
