\"the-man-from-u-n-c-l-e-movie-poster\"<\/a>1. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (Warner Brothers, 3,638 Theaters, 116 Minutes, Rated PG-13 for action violence, some suggestive content, and partial nudity, Rotten Tomatometer at press time: 66% Fresh<\/a> [117 Reviews]):\u00a0<\/strong>This seems like the most unlikely reboot\/TV show adaptation ever. The hook of the TV show was that it featured an American spy teaming up with a Russian agent at the height of The Cold War. And the show evolved from a James Bond clone to a a campy send up of the genre. In other words, not something that would be easy to adapt.<\/p>\n

It seems that Guy Ritchie is leaning more towards the original version, set in the 1960s, with a more subtle sense of humor added and this time a U.K. denizen is playing the American spy and an American is playing the Russian.<\/p>\n

The agents must track down some stolen nuclear warheads before they could be used to start a nuclear war. Since we all are not glowing, I think they succeed.<\/p>\n
