I'll definitely be getting my hands on a copy shortly. Thanks.
OMG It Should be illegal to look that handsome, the same goes for Pierce in The Thomas Crwon affair and after the sunset.

The articles above say differently, and the trousers worn with the white dinner jacket are not dark grey.
They are midnight blue.

Dark grey trousers are never worn with white dinner jacket:
"Warm-weather trousers follow the same rules as classic trousers including their black or midnight-blue coloring and wool material. If choosing to have a pair purpose-tailored for hot climes it stands to reason that they should be constructed of lighter weight worsted than used for a year-round tuxedo."

But this is all off-topic. :)
Thanks for the links, by the way.
Sounds great.
I will check this movie as soon as Possible and i thiught besides Marnie his career after Bond really started with the Untouchables.
I guess i was wrong.
Anyway Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery apart from being my two favorite Bonds are also the ones who have the more interesting filmographies outside the franchise.
I really wished Connery would have accepted the original Thomas Crown and that way he would have had another thing in common with Pierce.
Pierce was wonderful and sonwas his chemistry with Linda Hamilton.
Maybe he gives this stuff to his PR people to uplaod it or maybe its not an official fan page.
Is there a way to see if its truly the actor's Facebook page or a fan made page??
It appears Brosnan is not only good at playing good guys, but here he's playing the bad guy... Oh, and it has Ashley Greene (she's a personal favourite of mine, don't ask), too. That's ought to be a good one!
Brosnan could play anything and I'd watch him. He's like a fine wine.
Agreed. Been watching Married Life recently. He was fantastic in it. The typical laid back best friend you'd need in the most difficult of your times.
Pierce did a great job as a bad guy in butterfly on. Wheeel
Have you seen it?
But errm... Plot Spoilers, those interested in the film, don't proceed if you haven't seen Butterfly On A Wheel...
He made gerard's character life a living hell just for messing with his wife and Maria Bello's character was also a psycho
But, he didn't really have a loaded clip within the pistol handed over Neil character to shoot his wife. He just wanted to intimate the hell out of the man who kept messing with her, whom I imagine he (Tom) loved more than anything in the world. That would drive any man crazy at that point he'd plan revenge based on many scenarios. Good thing there have been no physical harms in the scheme.
Do remember as well that Tom didn't orchestrate the plan alone. Neil's own wife felt the same way and was involved as much as Tom.
Anyway returning on Pierce playing unlikable characters nothing disturbed me more than the almost rape scene in The Tailor of Panama.
I had to watch Thomas Crown affair and Bond videos on youtube for hours to earse that horrible picture of my mind with Pierce in that film.
Great performance but the most disturbing ive seen from him, especially when you know him best for James Bond and Thomas Crown
Regarding PB's performances - the best I've seen him has been in ToP, The TC Affair, Butterfly on a Wheel (Shattered) & The Noble House mini series. In all of these, he was called upon to play two extremes: either a suave cool and unbothered gentleman or a somewhat unhinged, brutal bastard. He can do both extremes very well.
It's his Bond performances that I found somewhat lacking in comparison, because Bond requires a delicate balance between the two states, and that balance is far more difficult to achieve convincingly than many assume. He got it best (but not perfect) in GE, due to Campbell in my view.
:-?
Also, I thought he got that balance perfect in November Man.
Yes, he was very good in the November Man, although I'm not a big fan of that film. However, Devereaux is not Bond, and it sort of illustrates my point. Devereaux is exactly the character that Brosnan is best at imho (I forgot to mention that film). Either that, or Thomas Crown/Ian Dunross.
But, I do agree where you chaps are coming from, and I heartily agree with @bondjames. It was that case. Brosnan wasn't playing the Bond of the books, and like Moore, he was far from being that character. They were just playing characters that were named "James Bond." But, if it wasn't for these two, I wouldn't have gotten into the franchise. That said, Connery's portrayal was also a departure from the book character when he played Bond with uber machismo rather than a calm middle class commander.
And once again, I agree with @bondjames that Brosnan is suited best for roles like Thomas Crown and Ian Dunross, although he wasn't bad at playing comedy reliefs like Remington Steele. And I have to say I liked how cruel he was as Valery Petrofsky in The Fourth Protocol, which was a complete derail from his Remington Steele role he was known for at the time.
As for The November Man, it was alright. Not good, not bad, not great, not dreadful. If only it had more budget, I am sure the script would have provided more colourful storyline and theatrics put into it. After all, Brosnan wanted his own Bourne at one point. Let's see if the sequel gets the greenlight.
