It's a Smoothy of a Groovy Movie as it takes its Time presenting Action Scenes with Screen Time that allows the Brain to take in what the Eye Sees, and what the Eye Sees is a Beautifully Crafted Film that not only takes place in the Sixties, but could have been a Movie Edited in the Sixties.
Elegant, Frothy, and full of Eye Candy that often times looks like Magazine Ads and just as Glossy. There is no shortage of Beautiful People on Screen as Armie Hammer, Henry Cavill, and Alicia Vikander try to find a Nuclear Scientist that has been Kidnapped, before He can Deliver a Device.
It's standard Cold War Stuff and the Movie handles it Cool. It is a welcome Breather from the Hyper-Ness of other Franchise, Super-Hero, Spy Stuff and Audiences should be Prepared for the Change.
Because Frankly it is quite a Different way to Present This type of thing Today and the Knee-Jerk reaction is to Reject its deliberate Style. But it mostly works as one can see the Pendulum Swinging Back to another Era in the way Movies were made and Enjoyed.
It's Retro in the purist Sense and deserves Kudos for giving it a try, because it isn't a Given that this Type of Thing will be Accepted. Overall, if one gets the Vibe, it can be a pleasant Diversion and a Delightful Experience if nothing more than a Contrast to Current expectations.
