Peter Devereaux is a former CIA agent who is asked by the man he worked for to extract a woman who is in Russia and is presently close to a man running for President, who is believed to have committed crimes during the Chechen war. She can give them the name of someone who can prove it. His friend says that she will only come to him. So he goes and she gets the info and tries to get out but the man finds out and tries to stop her. An ex-C.I.A. operative is brought back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level C.I.A. officials and the Russian President-elect. This was a fun movie. I understood the plot which I cannot say for many of the movies lately. It was not too long. Brosnan was perfect for this role and it had a good ending. What more do you want? Most of the brainless movies on now days have great action but are silly and game like. This movie was like a Bond movie without the gimmicks. Olga Kurylenko was very good and a pleasure to watch. This was not a save the world movie. A lot of people were killed but for reasons. The chase scenes were well done. I have really said all I want to say but have to write ten lines in order for this review to be shown. I found it hard to believe it only had a 6.3 rating. This was better than the last 10 movies I have seen. Maybe I cannot relate to the kid like crass movies that are popular these days like Hanfgover and Horrible Bosses,and all the Adam Sandler movies. Wow simply wow, the November man is a cat and mouse chase with so many twists and turns you will enjoy it first time round and then value the return of pierce brosnan second time you watch it. a ex C.I.A agent which reminds you of when pierce played james bond gets caught up in a world of trouble, the film grips you from the get go and unlike most films of this genre this one has a fully understandable plot/story which makes sense. There is plenty of action and brosnan shows he still has the cool swagger he showed in his bond reign all in all a worthy effort and with the brilliant supporting acts of Luke bracey and olga kurylenko you cant go wrong. It may be the same old USA vs the russians but at least with this one its a fair battle and a realistic one too A humorless, muddled, bloody and generally unpleasant thriller.
