Well. I just rewatched The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
... The film by Guy Ritchie, not the old TV Show (which... I guess I should watch?).
I am reminded that Alicia Vikander is... an actress.
No, I seriously have to wonder how she got so much press and so much attention (even, I believe, an award for playing a robot or something), all the up through her reprisal of Lara Croft. She made zero impact on me the first watch through this film (four years ago?), and knowing who she was for the second watch through I realized all her BEST scenes were ones where she didn't speak*, or spoke only a little to accentuate the physical acting. I assume she was cast for her (lack of) height, in order to make Armie Hammer look even bigger, which in turn was to make up for the tall, and more importantly massive, Henry Cavill, having to be impressed by Hammer's size/physicality.
Still, its a damn charming movie, though one does wish they'd put more time in for the Villian, played by Elizabeth Debricki (Spelling?), who ironically is taller even than Armie Hammer I believe.
*For Stalkerish Trufans of ms Vikander, that's actually meant to be somewhat complimentary. She did and OUTSTANDING job with the more silent, physical parts of her acting, while her dialog delivery was... adequet.
