'The November Man'
Pierce Brosnan as Peter Devereaux is a reminiscent of his Bond era,
cool-headed fast cars gun fighting and unscathed
in any situation. A minuscule take on the legendary character of Bond which he
lived on screen for a while.
Peter a CIA
killer and a experienced person of many international intelligence missions and
his protégé David Mason [Luke Bracey] is a sharp shooter with a reckless attitude.
A flashback shows Peter in Switzerland being tasked to shield a Russian woman as
she is aware about a surreptitious crime which the next presidential candidate
of Russia Arkady Federov [Lazar Ristovski] has committed some years back.
But while Peter escorts
her out she is been shot point blank by Mason and the entire thing goes skewed while
back in present Peter discover another witness Alice [Olga Kurylenko] as she
also has a diverse top secret of her own tribulation.
Peter has to expose
Arkady about the Chechen War which was conspired by the CIA and resulted in the
deaths of thousands of guiltless people and the massacre of Alice’s family and the
brutality which she had gone through.
The movie is a glossy
and fast pace as the Director Roger Donaldson has monitored every frame to be interesting
making immense scope to see the movie. Bonds fan have a one reason to go and
watch’ Pierce Brosnan’
