The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) suffered from bad marketing, but the film itself is effortlessly cool. Guy Ritchie leans into the 60s spy aesthetic and the Cavill & Hammer dynamic carries the whole thing. One of the most overlooked films of the decade.

The Gentlemen is Guy Ritchie at his best. I forced myself to revisit this film as a reminder that yes, Ritchie can actually make a good film. This after I nearly collapsed from boredom after watching Ritchie’s newest release In the Grey (🌟🌟) featuring Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill. In the Grey is not good. You can’t make that statement about The Gentlemen. This film’s release was really impacted by COVID, but man it’s a great movie.
