The November Man
The story tells about Peter Devereux, a former CIA agent. A short time later, the man he worked for was asked to extract a woman from Russia, but that woman might be close to a man coming to the president, who is believed to have committed crimes during the Chechen war. The events change completely, as Devereux approaches Alice and may realize that something has shimmered behind him dramatically.

[An] engaging, fast-paced and ultimately ludicrous combo of espionage and mayhem ...

Directed with old-school grit and clarity.

"The November Man" turns out to be the classic August movie: a triumph of competence over imagination and schlock over taste. Its highest value lies in reminding filmgoers that fall can't come too soon.

The November Man is one of those thrillers that grows progressively more incoherent, and it simply isn't fast enough to glide over its gaping narrative holes.

Director Roger Donaldson has had his ups and downs over the past few years; the script for this lodges somewhere in the middle, though he compensates for its lack of distinction through sheer velocity and nimble negotiation of its hairpin turns.

A predictable espionage thriller undercut further by loose ends left dangling, November Man is worth seeing only for Pierce Brosnan's dynamic lead performance.

A few brain cells short and a handful of years too late.

A throwback-y, meat and potatoes potboiler that manages to get the job done with a minimum of fuss. The nastiness is bracing.

The spy who bored me.

A poor, poor script can zap the charisma out of any actor. Just look at what The November Man did to Pierce Brosnan.
