The November Man

I'm not one to shy away from any spy thriller, but the one ingredient they must all have is continuity...without it a spy film will simply plod on. Some good acting by Brosnan, and a movie-goer can never go wrong with Olga Kurylenko (The Ring Finger). November Man had its moments, but it just got weighted down a bit where it should have kept pace.

This is the sort of movie you get when you have a former James Bond acting on your script. It isn't as intense as a Jason Bourne movie. It's not as refined as a James Bond movie, and it's not quite as brutal as an Equalizer movie, but it is really good, and I was surprised at how well they realized the plot in this. It doesn't come off as too cliché and is not only well acted but also shot in a way that conveys the tension and the brutality gets time to sink in so that it actually feels earned. I thought that this was really quite good.
