"One Of Our Spies Is Missing" (the title has very little to do with the content, by the way) is synthesized from a two-parter episode of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E", so you would think it would have enough coherence for a feature-length film, but it doesn't. The first half of this film makes it look like Solo and Kuryakin will have to battle one group of villains, then in the second half those are put aside to make room for a second group of villains; the problem with this strategy is that the most promising elements of the first half (like the lethal henchwomen Olga and Do Do) are underutilized. But there are still some memorable moments here, like Illya's fight with a man twice his size, or one reverse-aging image that pushes the film even further into sci-fi territory than before. ** out of 4.
