I wasn't sure if i watch it in cinemas, but that settles it i guess.
From the interviews and reviews I've read it seems like Brosnan does have a good role. To be honest I was a bit disappointed because I thought a politician would make a fairly boring villain and I was picturing him going toe to toe with Jackie when I first heard about it, but it sounds like Brosnan is in a big chunk of the film and his character gets his own side story and has his own problems. I'm really excited for this one. Hope a UK release isn't far off.
Brosnan's a weird one with accents. He never even tried with Bond but then in a few films I've seen him in lately he gives them a go. They're always patchy and you can always tell it's him but he does proper commit to them and it works really well when the character is colourful and OTT enough to match his performance.
I really want to see him work with Tarantino or Guy Ritchie or someone because I think he'd nail it. Colourful, seedy, foul mouthed criminal types. Those are the sorts of characters he's great as (not that he isn't still cool as f--- as a suave leading man mind).
Same. That's my favourite film of his outside of Bond and I'd love to see more of him as that character. Love the bit where he wanders through the hotel in speedos sunglasses and cowboy boots, beer gut hanging out, straight into the pool. He's become a really good character actor since Bond imo. Doesn't know the meaning of the world subtlety but I find him really entertaining because of that. Here's hoping that The Foreigner leads to a Brosnanaissance, I want Thomas Crown 2 as well and I'd love for him to get his Taken moment with Campbell directing. He deserves a great badass action film with him as the lead (I found November Man disappointing).
...which is a shame because when I read the script written in 2007 by Leverage creator John Rogers, I absolutely loved it. I don't think it had any plot holes to begin with.
Such a shame that film was never materialized.
I can see why he wouldn't because it is a great one off and a sequel could risk tarnishing its legacy but I agree it's a shame. I love that movie. I actually prefer it to the original.
Never mind though. We all know that Mama Mia 2 is when the Brosnan comeback is really going to kick into gear. Forget La La Land, Pierce is gonna show Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone how it's really done
Hurley would have been a dream.
Russo basically killed the movie for me when i was younger. i only learned to appreciate it years later
Agreed. She was overtheatrical, emotional and sometimes a bit too enraged. Faye's character didn't try to show off and she kept her cool composure in the entirety of the film you'd like her. That chess scene alone speaks volumes.
Great! I'll catch in theaters too.
Where the Brosnan does shine
Hope they can sort that out, otherwise i'll have to wait for the bluray
Certainly not! I have yet to meet anyone who says something negative about him as Bond (or anyone else for that matter)
Only since i've been on this Forum i have realized that Brosnan-haters even exist.
But there are plenty of Brosnan lovers as well here! ;)
And we are strong!
