a5c7b9f00b Peter Devereaux is a former CIA agent who is asked by the man he worked for to extract a woman who is in Russia and is presently close to a man running for President, who is believed to have committed crimes during the Chechen war. She can give them the name of someone who can prove it. His friend says that she will only come to him. So he goes and she gets the info and tries to get out but the man finds out and tries to stop her. An ex-C.I.A. operative is brought back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level C.I.A. officials and the Russian President-elect. They say that a great action star never gets old, someone should have told that to Pierce Brosnan. In the latest spy thriller from Director, Roger Donaldson, Brosnon is playing a retired C.I.A. agent, who is called back to duty after years away from the business. He's supposed to simply rescue a fellow asset in the field, when he gets drawn into a world wide conspiracy. I've never been that crazy about spy movies to begin with, because it seems like it's always the same thing. The story goes back and fourth, with crosses and double-crosses, leading to one fight after another and The November Man isn't much different. Brosnan is supposed to be the best agent there ever was, the deadliest, most intimidating man there ever was. Now I don't know about you, but I don't find a hundred pound British guy in his sixties to be all that intimidating. Given Brosnan's age, the film really didn't have much in the way of fight scenes, just poorly executed car chases and a whole lot of shooting. Even the dialogue in this thing was a joke, with classic Bond lines, and an enemy hiding beyond every door. The bottom line, The November Man is a cliché, with a star who is much too old to be playing the guy all the action is centered around. Luke Bracey, who plays Brosnan's former protégé and nemesis, would have been much more believable as The November Man, even still, this film was just poorly written and executed all around. At one time, Pierce Brosnan was one of the best, but The November Man proves that it's time to for him to stop being the man, and start being the one behind the curtain, who controls the man. This is a movie of character scenes with some good actors, strung together between action sequences. The plot is retired spy 101 format. However the audience has to make leaps of logic to follow the way the script is laid out. There are a lot of chase scenes that lead to nowhere and it's got a big, booming sound track. I have always been a fan of Brosnan. He is fine in the part, as is the rest of the cast. It's the editing and directing here that makes this film a mess. Nothing here is remotely like the sophistication of a Bond film, although it seems to have been marketed with that feel. It is also filled with gratuitous violence, completely not necessary for the plot line. I found that particularly disturbing. I wouldn't watch this again. Even in the lazy days of late August, this movie is hardly worth the price of popcorn.
