For a film adaptation from a television series, Guy Ritchie has created a under-performing but well deserved and smartly polished and directed full length spy movie that exceeds the Mission Impossible franchise on so many levels. While the Impossible Impossible franchise mostly omitted the major underlying theme of remarkable series of manipulated actions and events to overcome the enemy, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. builds on its original television characters and incorporates a deeper serio-comedic element than the original series.
