This story tells about the different action, where that story began with Peter Defro. Peter works as a former CIA agent and has been asked by the man he worked for to extract a woman from Russia who looks like a strong job and needs a strong risk. That woman is now close to a man who approaches the president, where Peter believes he committed crimes during the Chechen war. The task begins and Peter approaches Alice's realization, but there is something strange behind Peter Defro, and DiFro may have planned to change his destination.
[The film] very deliberately trades on whatever nostalgia moviegoers might have left for Pierce Brosnan as a secret agent, and ticket-buyers' mileage will vary accordingly.
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.
"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.
