Cinema has a huge number of subgenres, the basis of which is the action movie. Most of these paintings look fairly standardized and of the same type. Spectators managed to get tired of films about heroes, single-handedly cracking down on a huge number of enemies. Such films have become obsolete at the end of the last century. And to really surprise the audience, you need to create something truly non-standard. Spy action movies can hardly be called a new word in the genre. However, in 2015, Guy Ritchie was able to pleasantly surprise his fans by creating the ironic spy film "ANKL Agents", the actors and roles of which will be presented to your attention in the article.
"ANKL Agents" - the best spy film of 2015
We think that few people already remember the eponymous series, aired about forty years ago. It is pretty outdated and hardly able to interest the modern viewer. But Guy Ritchie took a chance and returned the old heroes to the big screens, while seriously changing the original story. Thus, we got a first-class spy action movie, in which there is a huge amount of humor. This is what became his hallmark.
In the same year, sequels of such cult representatives of the genre as "James Bond" and "Mission Impossible" were released. But in them the stories are told in the most serious style, without the slightest hint of irony. "ANKL Agents" successfully beat all the cliches and cliches of these films, thereby allowing a hearty laugh while watching. At the same time, humor does not slip into frank vulgarity, as it was in the film "Spy", released in the same year.
Plot
The plot focuses on a young American agent Solo, who has repeatedly risked his life and completed countless dangerous missions. In this matter, he has practically no equal. Solo is used to working alone, as he has not the most pleasant character. But once his usual way of life changes. The USSR and the USA decide to join forces in order to save a German scientist who is able to create weapons of mass destruction from the clutches of attackers. That is why the best KGB officer Kuryakin comes to America. These are so different and unlike each other people are forced to work together. Will they be able to find a common language, as well as fulfill one of their main missions in life? First, they need to find a young daughter of a scientist who can know important information. Ahead of them will be waiting for amazing and incredibly dangerous adventures that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
Producer
The actors of the film "ANCL Agents" worked perfectly in tandem with the eminent British director. Guy Ritchie began his career in the late 90s. He managed to declare himself already in his debut work, called "Cards, Money, Two trunks." Then he cemented the success of the film "Big Jackpot." All this allowed him to move to Hollywood. There he received serious financial support. But at the same time, the director clearly lost his former style and began to create blockbusters that were extremely typical for America. And only in "ANKL Agents" he again managed to return to the roots. Despite the large budget, this movie does not slip into a continuous action, set with the help of expensive special effects. The characters are revealed just wonderful. The emphasis is on dialogs, as was the case in the director’s early work, which is a definite plus.
"Agents of ANCL": actors
It's time to talk about the actors. Who included the movie "ANCL Agents" in his filmography? Cast (photos of actors, shots from the film - in the article) young and talented actors who managed to declare themselves in Hollywood. Everyone perfectly got used to their role, so we got such a great movie.
Henry Cavill
This actor is remembered by many thanks to his role as Superman in two films of the DC studio. Despite the magnitude of these films, in them the actor did not have the opportunity to fully demonstrate his acting talent. So it was extremely unusual to see him in such a role. In the movie "ANKL Agents" he played an American agent who has excessive self-confidence and prefers to work alone. In the past, he was a fraud, which is why he fell for the bait of the government. And now, for many years now, he has been forced to carry out their instructions. To complete the tasks, he uses the most modern gadgets and other espionage tricks.
Armie Hammer
This actor is much less known to our viewers. In this film, he played a Russian secret agent. And the fact that the actor did such an excellent job with this difficult role is not surprising. The thing is that Hammer has Russian roots. Thanks to this, he so brilliantly portrayed the Russian accent. So we would not recommend watching this movie in a dub. Ilya performed by Armie Hammer is the exact opposite of her American counterpart. He is rude, straightforward and completely devoid of a sense of humor. He used to solve all problems with his fists. But, nevertheless, this hero does not look caricatured, as is often the case in Hollywood films. That rare case when the Americans did not make the Russian a complete idiot, endlessly drinking vodka. In this case, the director pretty much played a joke on an American agent.
Alicia Vikander
In the film "ANKL Agents" the actors, as mentioned above, played young, but talented. Alicia Wikander is a charming actress who managed to become a major American movie star in just a few years. Every year with her comes a huge number of high-quality films in which she fully shows her acting abilities. That is why in her piggy bank there is already an Oscar. In this film, she got a rather unusual role. It is she who plays a key role in the plot and keeps the main intrigue, which is revealed closer to the end of the film.
Hugh grant
What other actors brilliantly played in the movie "ANKL Agents"? Of course, the unrivaled Hugh Grant. A famous actor, whom we see in large films less and less. Many of you most likely know Hugh Grant from all kinds of romantic comedies, thanks to which he became a kind of American sex symbol for many women about fifteen years ago. But in this case, the actor played a small, but rather atypical role, which clearly stands out from the background in which he starred in recent years.
Elizabeth Debicki
Perhaps the most unknown actress for our viewer, who also got one of the leading roles in the film. Elizabeth has never before starred in major Hollywood projects. But it is already visible here that this young actress has talent. Immediately after the "ANKL Agents" with her participation, the popular mini-series "Night Administrator" was released, in which she got the main female role. Soon there will be new Guardians of the Galaxy, in which it will also appear. So there is no doubt that a bright career will be ahead of her.
