Reel Talk:

This film is an adaptation from the 1960's  series of the same name and I use to watch it as a kid but honestly I can't remember anything about it to compare to the movie. But I will say this, the movie is the bomb. Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer make a good team as the pair of super undercover agents working for their respected countries and there will definitely be a sequel in the works for this franchise movie. Guy Ritchie did a good job directing the film, updating it from the 60's version and adding a modern flair. There is action, intrigue and comedy in this film which will keep you glued to the screen. If you like the Mission Impossible films you will truly enjoy this movie although it is not as intense as the "MI" series. This is one that you can cash out on and will not be disappointed with your choice.
