Not sure where you live, rsection, but here in the US, there's almost NO publicity for this movie - and it's supposed to open here in limited release and on-demand on May 29th! Most of the publicity coming for this movie is from the Italian distributor or the UK distributor. It's already in theaters in Italy and will be in theaters in the UK on June 5th.

From a Bangladesh source ...
currentbuzz.my/Entertainment/movie-review-survivor-it-s-bond-versus-aliceMovie Review: 'Survivor' – It’s Bond Versus Alice Posted on : 25 May 2015 07:00 PM SPOILER Alert: It’s Bond versus Alice in Millennium Entertainment’s political thriller Survivor. Starring Milla Jovovich, Pierce Brosnan, Angela Bassett and Dylan McDermott, it’s your usual action-packed, gun-trotting, explosion-filled film that manages to pack a punch but failed to meet its mark. Jovovich plays Kate Abbott, an employee for the State Department stationed in the US embassy in London. Her job is to prevent terrorists from entering the United States, but when she is marked for death and framed for crimes she did not commit, she must clear her name and race against time to stop a terrorist attack aimed at Times Square on New Year’s Eve. The plot is fairly straight forward with a greedy businessman who wants to profit from the attack, a grieving chemical engineer (Roger Rees) who blames US for the death of his wife and plans to blow up Times Square, and “the Watchmaker” (Pierce Brosnan), an assassin hired to eliminate Kate during one of his bombings, and is hell-bent on orchestrating the New York City attack. It’s a slight change of pace for Jovovich from zombie-fighting heroine to a terrified State Department security employee on the run. And for Brosnan, this film gives him a chance to be entertainingly evil – he’s like Bond but an evil one. The film is directed by James McTeigue, whose directorial debut – produced and written by the Wachowskis – was the stylish and impressive graphic novel adaptation V for Vendetta. However, Survivor is short of a climatic ending and instead only managed a lukewarm reaction. McTeigue did a good job on character development for Kate and the Watchmaker with giving them ample screen presence. As for the rest, they were secondary or non-existent. You’d see Bassett, McDermott and Rees waltz in and out with predictable dialogues. At one point, McDermott even gave a moving speech about the State targeting Kate, when “deep down you should know that she is one of us, the good guys.” Survivor, however, still makes for an entertaining watch and if you’re a Jovovich/Brosnan fan. Survivor opens in theatres on May 28.

Not exactly a stellar review ... www.joblo.com/movie-news/review-survivor-340But they did have some nice things to say about Pierce ... For his part, Brosnan at least seems to be having fun playing a full-fledged baddie. He actually looks pretty menacing with his salt and pepper hair and constant glower. In his late-fifties, Brosnan still seems extremely capable in the action scenes.

Another review that is less than stellar ... blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/review-survivor-starring-milla-jovovich-and-pierce-brosnan-20150526But I found this part of the review amusing ... Enter, The Watchmaker. Played by Pierce Brosnan and his Tom-Cruise-in-”Collateral” haircut, he’s an internationally known assassin and terrorist who we’re told has thus far eluded authorities by getting reconstructive surgery. Clearly he has the best doctor in the business because he looks like Remington Steele.

variety.com/2015/film/reviews/film-review-survivor-1201504958/Film Review: ‘Survivor’ MAY 27, 2015 | 10:37AM PT Milla Jovovich goes on the lam in this proficient if implausible terrorist-themed thriller. Ben Kenigsberg @benkenigsberg Milla Jovovich plays a falsely accused Foreign Service Officer who works to thwart a terrorist plot as she runs from the authorities in “Survivor,” a sturdy wrong-woman thriller that feels grotesque in its citations of 9/11 and other intimations of real-world import, but also steals a few good moves from “North by Northwest” and “The Fugitive” for a solid middle section. A generic title and low buzz factor are hurdles for this day-and-date release, a meat-and-potatoes offering from helmer James McTeigue (“V for Vendetta,” “The Raven”). The prologue, in which two Americans in Afghanistan are captured after a helicopter crash, gets the proceedings off to an unpromising start; the poorly staged action and a lack of background density give off the vibe of a videogame cut scene. One of the men is identified as a potential bargaining chip, and his fellow soldier is quickly immolated. Cut to London, several months later, when the U.S. embassy is on orders to be stringent in issuing visas. The embassy’s new security officer, Kate Abbott (Milla Jovovich), is on the lookout for chemical and gas specialists. She quickly casts her suspicions on Emil Balan (Roger Rees), a Romanian doctor who claims to want to visit the U.S. for a medical conference. But Bill Talbot (Robert Forster) dismisses the notion that there’s anything odd about Balan; he carps about the processing backlog and having to come up with excuses when people start missing flights. His motivations seem sketchy at best. Kate’s are personal: In the movie’s tackiest appropriation, she flashes back to a plane crashing into one of the Twin Towers on 9/11. She also keeps a postcard (“Greetings From Windows on the World!”) from friends who died that day. Kate’s inquiries into Balan ruffle feathers, and soon after, a restaurant where she’s dining with her colleagues is bombed. This scene is one of the least convincing in the film, failing to clarify spatially how four of Kate’s tablemates could be killed while she escapes with seemingly only burns and scuff marks. The perpetrator, Nash, already seen at work in a bespoke-timepiece shop, is identified as “the watchmaker,” one of the most-wanted assassins in the world. Given that he’s played by Pierce Brosnan, it’s amusing to hear him described as having “had so much reconstructive surgery, no one knows what the hell he looks like.” The movie finally kicks into gear with Kate’s emergency rendezvous in the area of Kensington Gardens. When her contact there attempts to kill her, she turns the tables and shoots him — only to be photographed by onlookers with camera phones (a scene that seems clearly modeled on the U.N. sequence in “North by Northwest”). This sets off a gripping middle section, as Kate works to unravel a terrorist plot and all of London chases after her. Her main ally is her boss, Sam Parker (Dylan McDermott), who comes to her defense, while a British inspector (James D’Arcy) follows close on her trail and a U.S. ambassador (Angela Bassett) decides that Kate might as well be dispatched. (“If you get her in your sights, do not hesitate.”) Among other instances of adroit London location work, the movie includes an exciting chase through St. Pancras station and its adjoining tube stop, although echoes of the 2005 Underground bombings cast a pall over what should be escapist fare. McTeigue’s crosscutting generates significant suspense as Kate’s pursuers work to revoke her access, often just seconds behind her. But in the New York finale, set on New Year’s Eve — and, to appearances, shot with only a bare minimum of work in Gotham — the movie begins to fizzle again, raising questions of plausibility both minor (foot and street traffic look awfully light) and major (are the villains dragging out their actions for dramatic effect?). The wrap-up, too, seems abrupt, essentially asking viewers to hand-wave the international forces who’ve been marshaled to stop Kate. A closing title card honoring American law enforcement’s antiterrorism efforts feels unearned in the context of a slick chase thriller like this one. The thudding techno score and Danny Ruhlmann’s digital lensing have the effect of making “Survivor” look cheap rather than stylized. (This is one of those films that makes you wonder whether all agents poring over their computers late at night do so with the lights turned off.) But except in some of the sequences discussed above, editor Kate Baird’s cutting is topnotch. Film Review: 'Survivor' Reviewed at Park Avenue screening room, New York, May 26, 2015.

I don't get why Pierce keeps on ending up in films either get not so good reviews or go under radar or both. This has been going on ever since after GE. As a 90s kid growing up watching his Bonds, I think he deserves better than this.

LOL! an amusing observation indeed.. judging from the clips i watched, he looks pretty menacing and incapable of cracking a smile. Funny though.. i think he looked awfully like George Clooney with that hair. Its awkward since im used to seeing Pierce with his charming smile, and wink. <3 Oh and Tom Cruise bears an uncanny resemblance to young Pierce says my eyes.. I saw MI2 on HBO last night and i got annoyed when i saw him looking like Pierce. So i just changed the channel. haha

I've seen the film personally, and to tell you the truth, it was a lot less than what I expected from it. It's an average action film that ended up being a vehicle for a lead actors/actresses like Milla Jovovich, Pierce Brosnan, Dylan McDermott and Angela Bassett. Other than that, the plot revolves around yet another boring post-9/11 act of terrorism upon the US and all, which is a boring subject to begin with when one produces an action film and expects a good review. That kind of storylines work for drama thrillers, and this movie wasn't supposed to be the latter. Besides, the leading character, Kate Abbott (Jovovich) didn't have much of a thing to do nor an enough character development (despite my dislike of that thing, it was terribly needed there) to learn and know of her motivations. She was only running from one side of London to another, and that was about it. Brosnan was the only thing I liked about the film, and was the best thing in it, to tell you the truth, in each scene he walks in his attire, looking menacing than ever, the haunting look on his face chasing the protagonist like a ghost, as well as bearing brilliant assassin skills (the rope sliding scene in the stairwell, anyone?).
