Good day,

An article about movie news, I find it interesting to read. However some terms, I don't get the meaning. Can somebody please help me to understand them?
Here is the paste of the paragraph. Phrases in my question is in bold font.

Thank you.

'It was a fast-paced and frantic buddy movie laced with period trappings and anachronistic gadgets*, led by the* crackling double act between Cavill’s suave American agent Napoleon Solo and Armie Hammer’s gruff Russian operative Illya Kuryakin."

"buddy movie": is it a movie that good to watch with your buddy?
"period trappings": please help me to understand this term
"anachronistic gadgets": does mean the outdated movie elements?
"crackling double act": does it refer to, the funny interactions between the 2 actors?
