He is so much better on TTOP than as Bond. Incredible really. Like two different actors.
Indeed it was based on a John Le Carré novel after all, so how could it be anything other than anti-Bond?
I thought he was more than decent in GE and TWINE at the very least.
Indeed. It may be his best role, but Brosnan certainly did not play Bond in it.
Not Remmington Steele?
Just joking - I assume you were restricting yourself to feature films.
Yep, I was talking films only :) But yes, Remingston Steel is definately very Bondian
I really can't wait for November Man. Seems like the serious spy flick Brosnan never got to do as Bond.
Yes, I think it was one of his best performances. The arrogant, charming, non-caring, insensitive persona that he brought to Osnard was very believable and suited Brosnan. He let his hair down for this one. You almost got the feeling he was sending a message to the Bond producers: "Let me be this way for Bond!!"
I think he attempted to capture the essence of this portrayal in his next stab as Bond, in the early parts of DAD, and it worked. It was most apparent in his carefree, confident, almost arrogant early intro interactions with Jinx at the beach (if that was not James Bond, I don't know who is).
Sadly, Brosnan's tenure was over with DAD, so we will never know if he could have replicated more of this performance in his 'Bond persona'. Shame
I can't think of any other Bond who has had a scene-quite as great as that. Legendary!
His best performance, I think. Because he played the anti-Bond. And for once he did not play the poor man's Bond, as he used to before he became Bond.
Was terrific in The November man. An older, darker Bond in many ways.
