Another turkey; it's over for Pierce.
:) I'll still see it and make up my own mind. No matter what, Pierce has had an excellent post Bond career, which is far from over.
There will have been a press screening. That's how critics are able to review film before they hit general release.
More spoilers. Is there anyone who can review a movie without some f*cking spoilers?
This. Nothing more needs to be said on the film for me. I'll judge it when I see it.
I thought the main trailer made the film out to be a fairly average B-movie action film sadly. That was without reading any reviews. It may be that the film is surprisingly good but word of mouth hasn't been great.
I've noticed myself agreeing with only very few critics over the past 15 years or so. I think my expectations for the kind of enjoyable film I am hoping for are realistic enough. No matter, I'll definitely see it and I hope there is a second one.
That could be a screencap from his version of Quantum of Solace!
Agree. I liked GHOST WRITER. And funny, that this movie was shot completely In Germany, but no one noticed.
The November Man is a sometimes thrilling spy thriller starring Pierce Brosnan as the anti-Bond.
This is a raw, cruel, violent and often incoherent look at the international spy game. It is a game that 007 would never play, no matter who is standing in James Bond’s shoes.
Prediction: A lot of people are going to hate Roger Donaldson’s movie, which was adapted from the novel by the late American writer and journalist Bill Granger, who died in 2012. Granger was a young man during the Cold War and The November Man has the heavily packed baggage of that era, even though it is set in contemporary times.
As a story, and as a movie, this effort also has a low-budget, old-school, retro look-and-feel. But it also has Brosnan and he makes it interesting, even with (or maybe because of) the age wrinkles, the tightness in his gait, the sad eyes and the world-weariness that has consumed his performances post-Bond. I find all that fascinating. Hence, I can buy into The November Man, even with its obvious flaws. Brosnan always gravitated to complex, conflicted, even impossible characters and this is one of them.
The movie was adapted from Granger’s novel by Michael Finch (who contributed to Predators) and Karl Gajdusek (who wrote for two TV series, Last Resort and Dead Like Me). Brosnan served as one of many executive producers on the movie, so he had a stake in its outcome and, we presume, in the choice of filmmaker Donaldson, a workmanlike veteran from Australia, as the director.
n any case, after a lot of plodding plot revelations, Brosnan finds himself in the cesspool that The November Man creates. The story lurches through a linked series of violent confrontations, daring escapes and a couple of tender moments. All the actors just do their duty, but Brosnan brings something deeper, even a little crazier, to the screen. That is why we watch.
That's why I watch - oh yeah! :-bd I really like Brosnan. Looking forward to seeing him in this one.
Thanks, Germanlady. :)

James Bond without the charm, heart and sense of humour?
I thought that was Daniel Craig's Bond!
=))
That's exactly how Bill Granger portraied the character in the books, thus Brosnan perfectly nailed it.
It seems there may be a
It's predicted to take around $9 million by the close of the weekend.
