The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Review

From the get-go, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. feels enthralled with the world it inhabits. Guy Ritchies entertaining Sherlock Holmes movies took giddy pleasure in enhancing the detailed period setting with high-octane action, and while U.N.C.L.E. feels more subdued than those two films in terms of action, there's a similar spry sense of spirit in how it treats its 1960's time period. Old timey TV's, cars and music (which contains some unorthodox songs that typically aren't used in cinematic depictions of this time period) can be found around every corner, and it's hard not to be won over by that aspect of the movie.

Straight Outta Compton Gets Off To Strong Thursday Night Start, While Man From U.N.C.L.E. Has OK Thursday Night Numbers

After months of anticipation, Straight Outta Compton got off to a fantastic start last night, grossing $4.9 million at Thursday night showings. That's an incredible debut for an R-rated drama, and for comparisons sake, last weeks Fantastic Four movie, which cost more than four times as much as this $28 million music biopic, grossed 45% less at Thursday night showings. If Straight Outta Compton plays like the most recent summertime R-rated drama, Southpaw, it'll do about 13.9 times its Thursday night numbers, which would result in a $68 million opening weekend.
