www.hollywoodreporter.com/movie/november-man/review/725506'The November Man': Film Review
10:00 AM PDT 8/14/2014 by John DeFore The Bottom Line Overly familiar spy film serves its star well Opens Wednesday, August 27 (Relativity) Cast Pierce Brosnan, Olga Kurylenko, Luke Bracey, Bill Smitrovich, Will Patton, Eliza Taylor, Lazar Ristovski Director Roger Donaldson Pierce Brosnan spies for Uncle Sam, not Her Majesty
Onetime 007 Pierce Brosnan embraces a darker take on spycraft in Roger Donaldson's The November Man, playing a former CIA agent whose autumnal nickname acknowledges his tendency to leave little alive when he passes through a town. A familiar string of dark secrets, shifting allegiances and (wo)man-who-knew-too-much pursuit propels the storyline (adapted from one in a series of Bill Granger novels), giving Brosnan the opportunity to prove his cool remains intact, sans tux and gadgets. November Man won't do anything like Bond's box office, but will satisfy the actor's fans and moviegoers biding their time until the next top-shelf le Carre-style thriller. Here, Brosnan plays Peter Devereaux, who in his day was known for his unwillingness to form personal attachments that could compromise his duties. Like all spies, though, he had his secrets: When the woman he once loved (and who secretly bore him a daughter) dies while spying in Moscow, he becomes the enemy of her killer — his old protege David Mason (Luke Bracey), whose bosses at Langley ordered the hit lest she be captured by the Russians. Make that one Russian in particular: Corrupt former general Arkady Federov (Lazar Ristovski), who is on track to be the next Russian president and wants to erase anyone who knows about the atrocities he committed in the Second Chechen War. Devereaux's ex was one of those secret-holders, and in following her leads he winds up saving Alice Fournier (Olga Kurylenko) from Federov's top assassin. (Said killer is a woman, whose introductory scenes make one wonder why we so rarely meet hitmen who do ballet-like splits in order to limber up before a kill.) Fournier is a social worker who has helped some of the girls Federov sold into the sex trade, including one named Mira he made his personal slave. Mina overheard a lot during those years, and powerful people around the globe want to find her before she tells anyone what she knows. Though the film's cat-and-mouse scenes hardly compare to those in a Bourne movie, they're enjoyable and only occasionally ridiculous. (A long sequence in which Devereaux and Mason taunt each other on the phone during a chase makes little sense except for those longing to hear "you've lost your touch, old man" cliches.) Brosnan, whose old franchise made a smart turn away from superspy fantasy after his departure, plays the gritty side of spookdom well, and the film offers him (sometimes puzzling) opportunities to show just how nasty he can be, even as he's risking life and limb to save a stranger. "Don't put your faith in me, Alice — I promise I'll disappoint you," Peter says at one point, and Brosnan's grave delivery almost makes you ignore the fact that it's exactly the kind of line Pee-Wee Herman ruined for troubled loners when he gave Dottie the kiss-off back in 1985. This episode in Granger's November Man series, There Are No Spies, was published two years after that, and Michael Finch and Karl Gajdusek's script does little to disguise the fact that we've seen and heard all of this many, many times since. Production company: Irish DreamTime, Das Films Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Olga Kurylenko, Luke Bracey, Bill Smitrovich, Will Patton, Eliza Taylor, Lazar Ristovski Director: Roger Donaldson Screenwriters: Michael Finch, Karl Gajdusek Based on the novel "There Are No Spies" by Bill Granger Producers: Sriram Das, Beau St. Clair Executive producers: Pierce Brosnan, Remington Chase, Grant Cramer, Scott Fischer, Kevin Scott Frakes, Corey Large, Myles Nestel, Alan Pao, Ankur Rungta, Vishal Rungta, Raj Brinder Singh, Kevan Van Thompson Director of photography: Romain Lacourbas Production designer: Kevin Kavanaugh Costume designer: Bojana Nikitovic Editor: John Gilbert Music: Marco Beltrami Rated R, 108 minutes

This one isn't as good as the other review ... www.thewrap.com/the-november-man-review-pierce-brosnans-aging-spy-cant-save-this-double-0-dud/‘The November Man’ Review: Pierce Brosnan's Aging Spy Can't Save This Double-0 Dud By Alonso Duralde on August 14, 2014 @ 10:00 am Too few engaging characters and one thoroughly negligible performance from Luke Bracey results in a thriller that trying too hard to thrill For its first third or so, “The November Man” is a perfectly serviceable spy thriller, a sort of take-your-dad alternative to “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” a take-your-mom movie if ever there was one. Both feature a beloved UK movie star, and both shamble along pleasantly from expected beat to expected beat. Like “Journey,” “November Man” also goes off the rails, but its desperation surfaces earlier. You can tell that veteran director Roger Donaldson (“The Bank Job,” “No Way Out”) senses that he's losing his audience when the music starts getting louder and the blood spray gets more slow motion-y. Pierce Brosnan stars as Peter Devereaux, and when you've got a name like that, “spy” is pretty much your only career path. We first meet him in Montenegro in 2008, where he cautions his younger protégé David Mason (Luke Bracey, “Monte Carlo”) against forming attachments with women who could later fall prey to his enemies. (“If you want a relationship,” warns Devereaux, “buy a dog.”) After Mason bungles a job and kills an innocent bystander, Devereaux retires to Switzerland, only to be called back into the field five years later by his boss Hanley (Bill Smitrovich). Devereaux's mission to Moscow goes wrong, drawing him into a conspiracy revolving around Russian politician Federov (Lazar Ristovski), who has a shady past, and also bringing him face-to-face with Mason again. Michael Finch and Karl Gajdusek's screenplay, based on Bill Granger's novel “There Are No Spies,” doesn't lack for ideas, from long-buried secrets regarding the Russians and the CIA during the Chechen conflict, to Devereaux and Mason's father-son relationship, to the espionage world's cold and calculating use of agents’ friends and loved ones as pawns. None of this ever really connects, mainly because the characters in the film feel so flimsy and familiar, like half-baked recollections of people from better movies and books on the subject. “The November Man” can coast on Brosnan's screen presence for a while, and it's certainly fun to watch Devereaux outgun and outmaneuver Mason at every turn — for a while anyway. Bracey, unfortunately, never registers enough to feel like real competition for his former mentor; it's like trying to get invested in a battle between Captain America and a tuna sandwich. Olga Kurylenko scores a few interesting moments as a Serbian social worker who becomes the target of a deadly Russian assassin, and Will Patton brings his usual unsettling officiousness to his role as Weinstein, a CIA higher-up of questionable morals. (Given how many writers and directors probably have pictures of Harvey on their dartboards, it's surprising there aren't more movie bad guys named “Weinstein.”) This is the sort of film where the plot and even the action become so uninteresting that you start asking plausibility questions along the lines of “Why don't they just off him already?” and “Really? She's going to write an entire newspaper article on a public computer in a train station while at least three different people are trying to murder her?” These are the distractions that keep us watching during these grim end-of-summer days. “The November Man,” after a promising start, turns out to be very much a late-August release. |

So far all the review has been negative... Want the movie to make some profit and hope to see a sequel and fix what's downside of part 1.
Need a good writer and fresh director .
