Far too many people pan The November Man<\/em>. It had a great script and good acting. Okay, so the shooting scenes weren’t a million plus round gore-fest and there were only a couple of naked women which were on screen for seconds. (Technically just topless.) That is no reason to diss this movie. I was shocked at just how well done it was.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Those dissing The November Man<\/em> obviously didn’t pay attention to the story. The plot line and sub-stories in this film are on par with “Smiley’s People<\/a>.” Before the current rash of “James Bond<\/a>” movies with tons of stuff blowing up and even more nearly naked women, spy books and films used to always be about the subtlety.<\/p>\n

An operative who managed to raise a family their agency knew nothing about. A handler who had their own black bag company on the side using assets for profit. A damp umbrella left in a holder, missed by all but one. While there was quite a bit of shooting, this movie harkens back to the era when spy craft was spy craft and every agent was a double or a triple.<\/p>\n

Pierce Brosnan post Bond<\/h2>\n

Personally, after his stint as James Bond, I was surprised to see Pierce Brosnan pick up the mantle of an agent for the other side of the pond. I had never seen or heard of Olka Kurylenko before this movie. Casting definitely did its job! This girl is way more than a hot body, she can act! She is so gifted at the subtle things it was impossible to guess her story line until the left hook flattens you. I look forward to her having a long career.<\/p>\n

I’m actually thinking about buying this one for my overloaded collection.<\/p>\n
