Critics Consensus

The November Man has a few of the ingredients necessary for a better-than-average spy thriller, making it all the more disappointing that it falls back on dull genre clichés.

Immediately establishes tenseness and awe, through hardy wisecracks, brief character development, and nerve-wracking action. Go to Full Review
Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 12/14/2019
Director Roger Donaldson, reteaming with his 'Dante's Peak' star, [Pierce] Brosnan, excels at the interplay of espionage and red herrings, keeping us on our toes with plot points and twists and turns while dazzling with some well-timed action sequences. Go to Full Review

Alexander S @RT61935749 Oct 20 It's a bit of a sleeper, but if you think Pierce Brosnan excels at espionage action thrillers, as he did in his James Bond role, then The November Man might satisfy you with its action sequences, even if the story lacks the vitality to make it a standout action thriller. Grading: C See more Sally W @RT63246839 May 29 Way better than expected and a thrilling action movie!! See more K J @RT51161773 11/23/2024 Ugh. Don’t waste your time See more Gabriel A @RT32575600 10/15/2024 Um competente thriller de espionagem. Uma trama envolvente e ações boas. Para quem curte esse tipo de gênero, pode gostar muito desse filme. Apesar de alguns arcos serem mal desenvolvidos e alguns clichês do gênero, ainda é válido. Pierce Brosnan retorna muito bem ao âmbito da espionagem, mas com uma abordagem mais realista. See more John R @RT90047201 03/24/2024 It wasn't the greatest spy flick ever. But it was enjoyable enough as a fantasy conspiracy who's the real bad guy kind of thing. I probably won't watch it a second time, but it was a passible way to spend a couple hours. See more Diana M @RT70864767 03/10/2024 CIA agent Peter Devereaux is happily retired living in Switzerland. Until his ex-boss, John Hanley, shows up and tries to convince him to come back for just this one mission.... Go to Moscow and extract their agent who is deep undercover in the Russian government. The agent has a name that can indict a Russian presidential candidate. A name the CIA will kill to keep secret. Just get the agent and get out.... a simple extraction. But this mission is very personal. The agent is Devereaux's ex-lover Natalia Ulanova. "She's in trouble. If you want her to live you've got to get back in the game." - Hanley Well that simple mission goes sideways when a special opps CIA team shows up shooting at them... and led by Devereaux's former pupil, agent David Mason, whose orders are to eliminate their own agent and Devereaux. "This kid is the best assassin I have ever trained - Devereaux Well Devereaux is not happy about being crossed by his own agency. But he has the name (Mira Filipova) and only a social worker, Alice Fournier knows who she is. But Russia puts a hit on Alice and sends their best assassin to kill her. Now Devereaux along with Alice are on the run from the Russians, and the CIA. A simple extraction has turned into a deadly game with no rules. The line have been blurred. Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys, And who is really is playing who. November Man is a really exciting and entertaining spy thriller. The story is clever, fast and tense, with twists and turns and betrayals. Pierce Brosnan is dark, gritty, cold and ruthless. He is a man you do not want as a enemy. He is The November Man. "Know what we used to call you Peter? The November Man. Cause after you passed through, nothing lived." - Hanley Cast - Pierce Brosnan, Olga Kurylenko, Luke Bracey, Bill Smitrovich, Lazar Ristovski, Will Patton, Amila Terzimehic See more Read all reviews
