Guy Ritchie's stylish reboot of the classic 1960s TV spy series stars Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer.
Delivering a breezy mix of spy caper and buddy movie, Ritchie’s deliciously old-fashioned romp brims with retro chic and effervescent fizz.
Set in 1963 against a backdrop of Cold War suspicion and jet-set cool, the film finds the TV show's mismatched espionage duo - suave CIA operative Napoleon Solo (Cavill) and scowling KGB agent Illya Kuryakin (Hammer) - reluctantly joining forces to thwart an international gang of nuclear-bomb wielding baddies with the aid of Alicia Vikander's East German car mechanic.
The larky thrills and spills are enormous fun, Cavill and Hammer's chalk-and-cheese chemistry is a delight and the rest of the cast, including icy villain Elizabeth Debicki and a very droll Hugh Grant, also makes its mark.
