Henry Cavill may not be an underrated actor, but one of his movies is! The 29-year-old British actor is perhaps synonymous with franchise-heavy dramas such as Superman and The Witcher. It is through these grossing roles that the fan-favorite Geralt of Rivia saw his rise and his apparent downfall. Well, ‘downfall’ is not the exact word you would want to use because the world’s most handsome man still has a lot in his bucket to keep you intrigued.

Stepping into the industry some two decades from now, Cavill has played a plethora of mind-boggling, edge-of-seat roles. He has admittedly received much of the critical acclaim through his roles in the aforementioned dramas; they have shadowed down some of the other movies in which Cavill has excelled. And one such movie has to be none other than his 2015 spy-thriller, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

The stylish spy movie starring Henry Cavill you will regret not watching

The DCEU and Netflix drama may hinder you from watching your favorite actor in action in his best avatars and new roles for a little while, but we have got you covered. Cavill apparently starred in a 2015 Guy Ritchie-directed movie, showing off his detective action-hero skills. An adaptation of the 1960’s TV show, the slick and stylish spy movie is a delight to watch on any Saturday afternoon.

Cavill portrays the calm, charming, and efficient personality of Napolean Solo alongside Armie Hammer’s KGB operative Illya Kuryakin. They together indulge in a mission against a deadly and mysterious criminal organization that is working to proliferate nuclear weapons. Notably, the movie’s box office gross was $45.4 million. It was perhaps because of its not-so-revealing title that the film could not intrigue the general audience as it should have.

Nonetheless, full of filtered humor and handsome-looking stellar caste, the rollicking spy caper does one thing best- It proves that the Enola Holmes actor has the license to thrill and would make a pretty intimidating James Bond. The Man From U.N.C.L.E has got a 7.2/10 rating on IMDb and 68% on Rotten Tomatoes. And if it has already got your attention, you can always stream the movie on Netflix.
