@ClarkDevlin Actually, I don't have a problem with the fact Quan sinks Hennessy at the end. He logically assumed he was a hand in the bombings, which he did, only he didn't intend them to be deadly. Hennessy was still responsible for the deaths to some extent, by agreeing to the idea of bombings, even non-deadly ones. Of course, he obviously also paid for what other people did without his consent, and he also paid because his past couldn't be washed away and thus made him irredeemably guilty in the eyes of someone like Quan. It was a tragic situation for him and I appreciated that quality of the story; it really was a tragedy in every sense.
@bondjames It would be interesting to compare it to the source novel...
See I understood why he did what he did at the end.
What felt off about the story to me was how exactly Chan figured out Henessy was involved. To me it seems like he just got lucky. He saw a public face on the news and starts taking out his anger on him but he has no evidence does he, apart from unconnected stuff that the apparently reformed Henessy did years ago? How does he know that Henessy is lying when he says he didn't know who was involved?
I was also a bit confused about
Ah I see, must have missed that, thanks @ClarkDevlin.
But he knew those people.
meaning once IRA always IRA. And in the end he was not just well connected but also partly responsible. So, good job Jacky.
Well except for the part where he had to shoot her in the head.
After starring in a lot of B-Movies, with two already in post-production (those being Final Score and Spinning Man), Brosnan has at least three high profile films in pre-production that he will be appearing in.
H-Block: A film by Jim Sheridan:
Set during the events of The Maze Prison Escape, thirty-eight prisoners escaped from H-Block - a prison that became a source of propaganda used by the IRA - with only 19 recaptured. The escape was a violent breakout that included hostage taking and ended up being the biggest in both British and Irish history, leaving countless officers injured and murdered.
Production is scheduled to begin sometime in March later this year, which co-stars Jamie Dornan as one of the prisoners. Cillian Murphy was also set to appear but opted out due to scheduling conflicts with his BBC television series, Peaky Blinders. Brosnan is believed to be portraying the prison warden. Though a high profile film, it is still under the helm of an independent production company, and a distribution deal is yet to occur.
Across The River and Into The Trees: A film by Martin Campbell:
Based on a novel by Ernest Hemingway, Brosnan portrays the protagonist, Colonel Cantwell, who reflects on his past while dying of a heart disease, spending time in a duck blind in Trieste. The film was supposed to begin production last September, but financial issues held the project back, according to Martin Campbell. But, it is reported to be back on track as of last October, which Campbell is hopeful to begin working on with Brosnan, soon.
The Medusa: A film by Peter Webber:
Set against the backdrop of the early 19th century in France, the film centers on Theodore Gericault, pioneer of the French Romantic movement, who drew inspiration from the sinking of a French frigate to paint his masterpiece "The Raft Of The Medusa". Lost at sea during the reign of King Louis XVIII, the survivors of the wreck told of trouble aboard and cannibalism after the wreck, and the resulting art fired up anti-royalist sentiment.
Based on the novel, The Wreck of The Medusa, by Jonathan Miles, the film was originally supposed to begin production last autumn, but no report since then was ever made regarding the project. Brosnan will be portraying Caruel, Gericault's bitter uncle and sworn enemy, while Jesse Eisenberg will be playing the painter himself, with Vanessa Redgrave portraying his anti-royalist innkeeper.
Currently, Brosnan is shooting episodes for the second season of The Son.
By the way, now that The Son is finally completed, i might give it a try, has anyone seen it?
I watched a few episodes of The Son, but left almost bored to death. Definitely not my cup of tea.
Thats because he's the best. Brosnan was my idol back in the 90's. When i watched Goldeneye at a young, easily impressionable age, i just thought "this is the coolest Mofo i have ever seen", i think i even picked up some mannerisms of his in my youth (at least thats what i like to think). On a concious level even i was able to realize that Die Another Day sucked, but it did not take away one iota from his cool. (btw DAD is my second favorite of his nowadays ironically)
All those discussions about "who the best Bond was" or who, on a technical level, is the most skilled actor, mathmatically speaking (nicelly demonstrated on some flipchart) just bore the living daylights out of me.
To me, he's the best, end of discussion :)
Haven't seen it, but he's back at work in Austin, filming season 2!
...and November Man 2! ;)
Brosnan's career is in healthy condition. Part of that has to do with the fact he has produced several of his own films, along with the late Beau St. Clair. He has created opportunities for himself.
He's got "it." The x-factor. The mojo. Whatever you want to call it. ;)
Exactly. He has the healthiest post Bond career of all the Actors except for Connery.

Mr. Brosnan: Terribly sorry, sir.
Mr. Moore: You blasted well should be. I don't know how long you expect to remain in my employ...
Mr. Brosnan: I'm sorry, sir.
Mr. Moore: Don't be so damned obsequious.
So Brosnan isn't fit to shine Moore's shoes? ;)
