Within a couple of years after the Cuban missile crisis as the United States appeared on television American and a Soviet citizen, fighting together with the world’s evil, let its roots across the globe . Soon, the show follows the adventures of the fictional agents Napoleon Solo and superorganizatsii Ilya Kuryakina telehitom was in the West, having gone through four seasons, and also spawned a spin-off, eight full movie, a sequel entitled “Twenty Years Later” and several books. And now half-forgotten heroes of the series The Man From UNCLE returned to the cinema in the film, received a Russian box called “Agents A.N.K.L.”.

Initially, the director had to be Steven Soderbergh, who left the project because of differences on the budget and casting. If someone is upset, and then not for long – the replacement of the author of the trilogy about Ocean’s companions found a more than worthy. When this became known, the number of awaiting the premiere of the audience has increased significantly: a remake of the classic television series was the new film of Guy Ritchie, and it provided him with extra attention. Steam-punk recent experiment in two parts on the topic of Victorian England showed that in terms of scenery of bygone eras Richie works no worse than usual he doorways of modern London, so that the release of “agents” waited with a special look.
The plot of the film allows us to call it rather a prequel of the classic TV show, than the picture on the grounds. The series, comes out in the midst of the “Cold War” sent the audience into a fantasy world in which these antagonists were not the Soviet Union and the United States, and global multinational company with a funny name UNCLE and T.H.R.U.S.H. The purpose of the latter, as it should be highly organized gatherings of villains – the conquest of the world. The first should be the same in every way to prevent the villains and bandits. The degree of hostility to all human insidious conspiracy is so high that to counteract his efforts had to unite not only the flagship of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, but also of Great Britain, Yugoslavia, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Greece, for some reason – no “Spectrum” or “Syndicate” can not boast of such attention. For all its apparent naivete series was very curious, and the main characters played by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum were among the favorite super agent of the Western world, at a time when surpassing only comes into fashion of James Bond.

The movie Guy Ritchie is trying to reconcile the strange universe of the old series with the reality of a bipolar world: before the project UNCLE generally it will go, the characters have time to war with each other as representatives of the CIA and the KGB, and then in the same capacity forced to collaborate. “Cowboy” and “Bolshevik” as they called each other, had to join forces to counter attempts by the Nazi nuclear revenge. Of course, the spirit of competition and permanent demonstration of scientific and technological achievements in their countries could not prevent the occurrence of mutual sympathy two superavantyuristov. On the way heroes – German scientists sadistic Nazi, Italian Fascist-gedonistki and other colorful, but very unpleasant both Marxist-Leninist and a capitalist point of view of the citizens.
Henry Cavill, who undertook the role of Napoleon Solo in place of Tom Cruise (who had refused to shoot for a promoted spy stories), is very good in the role of aristocratic adventurer urbane. The character is so often resembles the famous MI6 agent – until habits (actually, he could make his debut in “bondiane” in the “Casino” Royal “, but then he felt too young for the role), which is no doubt in his American origin – a gift that British actor. And if we did not see Cavill starring one of the future of the popular espionage franchise, find a justification for this is simply not possible.
The actor from the United States in a pair, performing the main characters, however there is, and he plays, as you might guess, Russian. Quiet and silent hero, whose “Russian character” primarily expressed in the first place, in a funny accent and a certain pessimism, by Armie Hammer (actually having Russian roots) mutated in exemplary Soviet superman according to classical canons branchy cranberries.

Ilya exotic patronymic of Nikovich -medvezhi strong (for example, to stop the car with his bare hands at full speed and he can not only because off the trunk lid), in severe Siberian (place of birth – Kiev – this does not prevent), Korchagin is selfless, but somewhere deep, deep in my heart to emotion romantic and embarrassingly sentimental. Throw a difficult childhood with indispensable ancestors in the Gulag, problems with anger management, knowledge of foreign languages, interest in intellectual games and an impressive knowledge of the life of Western civilization with all its normal hostile Soviet man consumerism – and get a close relative of Ivan Danko dearly loved in Russia, “Red Heat” just evolved considerably.
Typical for the Russian characters in western films contempt for compromise (of course, inevitable sparkling Juan-liners like: “Russian do not do that!”), of course, it becomes an occasion for countless gags. And here is determined by the master: the ability to play stereotypes so that it looks dull and not has gone – and certainly not a shame, but ironic and witty – this is what Guy Ritchie-proven long (remember Boris shaver?) Along with wonderful dialogue on citation inferior unless Tarantino masterpiece.
The rest of the virtues of the famous British director needs no introduction. Casting – amazing in “Agent A.N.K.L.” charming as the main characters – in addition to the Soviet-American couple, among them Alicia Vikander as the mysterious girl-mechanic from East Berlin and Hugh Grant as head of British intelligence – and secondary. Numerous action scenes filmed with due skill and taste, in a recognizable style of Richie. A special praise is certainly worthy of the scenery: the German Democratic Republic, West Berlin and Italy sixties convincing and, in general, do not cause any problems – as well as a great soundtrack.

In some places the plot and motivation of the characters can provoke grumblings other Quibbler. For example, good chefs agents to incite them against each other and at the same time negotiating the establishment of these case teams to save the universe. But this is – not the case when such is essential: any flaws pale against the backdrop of colorful, stylish and really funny movie from one of the most outstanding filmmakers of our time.
Ironically, the saga of cooperation superpowers Americans, together with the British I managed to pull out into the light of the dusty archives only now, but the idea came long ago. Even in such a fun-loving, playful way mainstreaming of cooperation between Russia and the West on the background of global threats, against the wishes of the authors, can not attract the attention of fans of the surface of geopolitical speculation. Like the fact that in the end, clearly alludes to the upcoming sequel, the newly formed team in the face of representatives of special services of the USSR, the USA and the UK prompt sent to one of the Middle Eastern countries. Although sometimes it is impossible not to grin relevance of some cues (which is a phrase CIA boss: “I am sure that in every German sits a small American and tear out”), let’s listen to the most Ritchie urged not to draw parallels with the present, and hope that the continuation of the story he has to tell us.
